Falling
Hayley Gabriel is a bookworm by trade and couch potato by choice. The night she takes the leap to go out on a date with charming Raiff St. James, the world turns upside down with catastrophic results.
Throughout her life, Hayley’s been told that she’s a jinx. Sure, she wants romance and excitement and adventure as much as the next thirty-year old, but without the risks those pursuits generally entail. So, she satisfies her longings by burying herself in the books she reads as a junior copyeditor for a San Francisco publishing house. Even she couldn’t mess up the lives of the characters about whom she reads!
When The Event occurs, that is to say, a global cataclysm, she’s forced to choose between sitting on the sidelines and watching the world quietly die or jumping light-years out of her comfort zone to join Raiff on a quest to save mankind. Her search for answers and solutions takes her to places she dared never go. All the while, the cosmic clock ticks on.
*Who will catch you when everyone is falling?*

About the author
J.S. Devivre
24 books4 followersJS Devivre is the author of Mind the Portal, the first in a 7-part Omni Tale series centering on Pete Drake, a student at the interdimensional Academy of Omniosophical Arts & Sciences. As a plenipotentiary for the school, Miss Devivre has been instrumental in the publishing of a number of omniversal works including Sheffield’s Irrefutable Rules of Squallix.
In addition to penning the 1920s Tea Cozy Mysteries series and The Tea Traveller’s Constant Companion tearoom guidebooks, she creates mystery games and has seen a score of her interactive plays produced. She primarily views herself as an eventeur, routinely mounting full-immersion theme events ranging in duration from an hour to a week.
In January 2018, she took fans of the Tea Cozy Mysteries to Northern California to walk in the footsteps of the characters. In summer, she’ll lead a group to the UK for a Spot of London - Sampling of Literature tea trip. The year after, she’ll host two academy events: a regional Squallix tournament and a Qamp Omni cruise. Her next Omni tale, Living in Oblivion, will be available to advance readers in May 2018.
Afternoon tea, Cirque du Soleil, and travel are her confessed vices. Her assistant is an English bulldog named Molly.
