Laura Alexander, living near Milan, Italy, who wants to rescue her boss, confronts ghostly secrets of the Western and mid-Eastern worlds, and finds redemption through adventure. She defends herself, friends, and the free world, with proponents of perhaps the greatest invention of the last two centuries. Laura takes readers on a resolute path through danger, intrigue, and betrayal. She will need all her wits and her most dormant trait, fearlessness, to survive. You May Have the Universe is just the first of Laura's upcoming adventures.
