A Time for Us

A Time for Us tells a tale of love transcending time and circumstance. Readers embark on a journey that weaves together the lives of Deborah, a contemporary African-American woman plagued by vivid dreams of a previous existence, and Pauli, the mysterious Caucasian New Yorker who evokes an eerie sense of familiarity in her soul.

As Deborah wrestles with the notion of reincarnation, she uncovers a fervent and dangerous love story involving Jeannette, a Colored seamstress from Harlem, and Mario, a charming Italian man caught in the perilous realm of organized crime during the 1940s in New York City.

Deborah teeters on the edge of jeopardy, risking her present life to unravel the shadowy truths entwining Jeannette and Mario’s fates. Each step pulls her deeper into a world plagued by racial divides, suffocating societal expectations, and a love so powerful it refuses to die with time. But what she unearths does more than shake her—it forces her into a heart-wrenching battle, torn between the haunting passion of a past that will not let go and the fragile commitments of the life she clings to now.

Another Again

Coming Early 2027

Fifteen years ago, Deborah Brown and Pauli Giovanni made an impossible choice. They walked away from each other, believing that letting go was the only way to protect the people they loved. But some connections aren’t meant to disappear with time, and some love stories refuse to end.

When destiny brings Deborah and Pauli back together, the connection between them is as undeniable as it has always been. But fifteen years have changed them. They’ve built separate lives, raised families, endured heartbreak, and learned to survive without the person neither of them ever truly stopped loving.

This time, finding their way back to each other means more than simply choosing love. Deborah and Pauli must confront old wounds, navigate the complexities of blending two families, and decide whether they’re finally ready to build the life they once believed they could never have.

Tender, emotional, and deeply rooted in the idea that some souls will always find their way home, Another Again is a story of second chances, family, healing, and a love powerful enough to endure across years and lifetimes.

They found each other again. The question is: Is this finally their time?

The unforgettable love story that began in A Time for Us continues.
