The Notice
The Storms Of Transformation sweep through small town America, leaving broken dreams, shattered lives and death in their wake.
Michelle and Jason were devastated by the loss of their son. They want to begin again, but their dreams disintegrate with the arrival of the Notice. The Notice turns ordinary citizens into wanted criminals, and transforms a once peaceful town into a hostile, dangerous place. The Notice sends Michelle into despair and drives Jason to the brink of murder.
With oppression comes resistance. A rebellious priest and his mysterious brother hide Michelle and her unborn child. Jason and Brad, brothers in all but blood, turn to vigilante justice. The fundamental transformation of America accelerates, and soon no place is safe. But even in their darkest hour, Jason and Michelle are never truly alone.

Her other interests are reading, the Catholic Faith, Classic Rock, Delaware Bay and the Delaware Beaches, and any and all forms of textile and fiber artistry.

More about Daniella
Daniella was creative from a young age. She learned to sew by hand and machine, knit, cross-stitch and embroider, all before age ten. Daniella doesn't remember learning these skills; she believes she picked them up by watching her mother and grandmother. Though painfully shy in school, and only an average student, at home Daniella's creativity blossomed. This continued through her high school years.
After Daniella married, she and her husband raised two children. Daniella worked a number of part time jobs, but her kids were her main focus until they left home at age eighteen. Working and raising children didn't hinder Daniella's creativity; she continued to progress in fiber artistry. In 1995 she turned to quilting, followed by learning to card, dye and hand spin wool. Many art-style quilts decorate Daniella's home, along with cross-stitched pieces and knitted items.
Daniella had always dreamed of writing fiction, however, she wasn't able to pursue this creative outlet until her children were grown. Finally, in 2009, Daniella began writing every day. Five years later, in May of 2014, Tears Of Paradox, book one in The Storms Of Transformation Series, was published. Tears Of Paradox received an honorable mention in CLFA's 2014 Book of the Year awards. The Notice, book two in the series, was published in February of 2015.
Book three of The Storms Of Transformation Series, Cadáin's Watch is available for preorder.

How can a family survive an America which has been 'fundamentally transformed' in all the wrong ways?
'The Notice' is a sequel to 'Tears of Paradox.' Both books tell the story from the point of view of a married couple, Jason and Michelle, who see their world grow more dystopian by the day.
Michelle receives a government notice which impinges on the couple's freedom in a very personal way. Michelle, pregnant, has to go underground to have her baby, since health care has become a joke and maternity hospitals have been replaced by abortion clinics.
Children are not particularly welcome in the brave new world, and can in fact be killed after birth if they should prove to have some sort of defect or disability. Though if the children survive to the teenage stage they are recruited into a Hitler Youth style organization and told it is their right to defy their parents.
The book also tells the story of Jason's spiritual struggle--- perhaps at too great a length for those readers unaccustomed to such things even being mentioned in a book.
The story winds its way on a grand tour of this bad new world, but since the author keeps the suspense at a high level, the book is one of those 'read all night long' books like a good Stephen King novel.
I felt the book reminded me a bit of Glenn Beck and Harriet Parke's Agenda 21 books, only these books are set much nearer in the future. A very realistic dystopia.

The book
I have not been so emotionally moved over a book in ages. I read a lot and I couldn't put it down . I believe we need to have books of this spiritual nature more in this declining world.
