“This book presents an engaging twist on a post-apocalyptic world.” – Publisher’s Weekly Booklife Prize
The world has changed beyond recognition. Climate catastrophe reshaped the earth centuries ago, and what remains of humanity lives inside giant walking cities that roam the landscape evading deadly storms and consuming resources to survive. Immortality exists for those who can afford it. And inside the city of Manhatsten, an ancient conflict is about to ignite.
Mimi is homeless, surviving on the margins of a city that would rather recycle her than acknowledge her existence. She is also a telepath, and she thought she was the only one.
She was wrong.
Pulled into a struggle that has been building for over a thousand years, Mimi discovers that the secrets running through the city’s heart run deeper than anyone has been willing to admit. And this time there may be no way out.
A science fiction novel written through an anthropological lens, Mimi of the Nowhere explores power, identity, coercion, and what it means to be human in a world designed to consume you.

“This is a heck of a start to a series. I picked it up just intending to read a little bit tonight and steamed right through to the end. Gripping, engaging, and rich. Extremely nice” – David, Goodreads Reviewer
“This book blew me away. The world building is amazing and the story is superb. Character development was peerless. This is a wonderful first book in this excellent series.” – Louis, Amazon Reviewer
“Wow! I was unsure of the premise when I started reading this, but it only took me a few pages to be totally hooked! I love the prose. The character Mimi is complex and interesting, and this whole world feels so unique. I’ve cried, and laughed, and chewed on my nails. When we got to the part that explained the title, goosebumps ran up and down my back.” – Nicolina, Amazon Reviewer
