Grooters Book 1
Out now in paperback and ebook.
Six kids from broken families.
And one Pact that could change everything.
Growing up in Geneva, the Grooters, six friends with global roots and extraordinary abilities, watched their parents suffer through failing marriages, addiction, financial ruin, and more. So they made a promise: to find solutions, no matter what it takes.
Twenty-five years later, in 2018, that promise resurfaces when a blind date brings Boss face to face with a mysterious photograph and a warning about a pandemic that could devastate the world.
To fulfil their childhood Pact, the Grooters must track down an eccentric professor and his genius invention: a machine that lets them travel into their own Dream Worlds. What they discover there will lead them on a treasure hunt across continents for a set of powerful crystals.
But time is running out.
Will the Grooters succeed?

About the Series
The Grooters is the story of six childhood friends, shaped by very different cultures, whose dreams pull them into alternate worlds where they find keys to love, purpose, and a well-lived life. A science-fiction adventure for adults who want stories that don't just entertain — they invite you to think differently about your own life.
