Maps for the Real World: Point of Origin
Where the route begins. Navigating the aftermath of middle school silence, facing academic scrutiny, and choosing a shared path over parallel avoidance.
Trilogy
The Real World Series
A planned three-part contemporary YA trilogy following Julian and Leo through adolescence, geographic transition, and adulthood.
In development
Maps for the Real World: In Transit
Moving between worlds. Julian leaves California for a six-week summer architecture studio in New York while Leo contends with track invitational pressure and an emerging interest in design back home. Together, they discover whether the foundation they built in spring can survive long distance.
Planned
Maps for the Real World: Open Ground
Crossing borders. Stepping beyond high school boundaries and suburban fencing into an unmapped future where perimeter lines are no longer needed to feel safe.
