Stepping Through

She's trained to handle danger.
She's not prepared to fail.

In a near-future world shaped by pandemics, genetic engineering, and corporate power, Dena Sinclair is determined to rise above the chaos that shaped her childhood.

Orphaned young and hardened by life in Scarborough, she's built her identity on one thing: being capable, dependable—and never weak.

Stepping Through follows Dena's journey across three connected stories:

A teenager navigating a dangerous city.
A new recruit facing impossible choices.
A rising security officer stepping into a world far more complex than she imagined.

But as the stakes climb, so does the risk.

Because if anyone sees her weaknesses…
she could lose everything she's worked for.

A character-driven science fiction collection with action, heart, and slow-burning tension, Stepping Through is the beginning of the Dena Sinclair series.
