Turtle Rock and Venus

On a remote sanctuary, as a group of broken individuals strive to overcome their traumas and fears, an otherworldly visitor arrives entangled in her own impossible struggles.

Turtle Rock and Venus, a genre-bending, rule-breaking, magically realistic rebellious read, invites the reader to consider the damage we’ve done to Earth in an entirely new way.

As Goddess Venus fights to save mankind from an abused and vengeful Earth, she must also guide and protect the mortal she loves and the community of broken individuals who have come to the mystic sanctuary of Turtle Rock, each on their own healing journey.

A cautionary tale for our times about the potential for the total annihilation of mankind with a multi-generational cast of characters, this 100,000 word novel takes place over six days during the Dark Moon phase on a remote outcropping set between an ancient redwood forest and a giant kelp forest. The central love story in Turtle Rock and Venus between Cap, the reclusive caretaker of Turtle Rock, and Forager, the woman who is determined to reconnect with Cap after being separated from each other for more than fifty years, plays out against the primal backdrop of mythic battles, asking if, and how, love can heal relationships … and the earth.

Think Playground by Richard Powers meets Circe by Madeline Miller.
