Power. Lust. Betrayal. Murder. Blamed for the deaths of both her parents,
Zoey Tirado is raised under the cruel control of her wealthy Uncle
Max—an obsessive narcissist whose vicious deeds scar Zoey’s
future forever. Zoey manages to escape, but feeling powerless and alone,
lets her life spiral out of control. Finally ready for help, Zoey is taken
under the wing of a champion female fighter who guides her on a journey of
transformation and empowerment by helping her strengthen both her body and
her mind. Rising above her past, Zoey focuses on her ultimate goal: exacting
the perfect revenge.
This first installment of The Perfect Revenge series sets the stage for a
sexy and thrilling saga, packed with romance, espionage, street justice, and
more. In The Dragonfly Rises, Zoey’s emotion-filled metamorphosis from
a guilt-ridden child into an inspirational success is a page-turner every
woman can relate to.
About the Author
WilD is a storyteller and longtime philanthropist who’s dedicated
generous amounts of time and money to organizations that aid women with
troubled pasts. The drastic transformations he’s witnessed have proven
to him what is possible when people are given the right support system.
Today, he’s an ardent champion of female empowerment, driven to create
a lasting legacy by furthering the cause even more.
However, WilD realized early on he was not the ideal “face” of
the women’s movement. And so, with the goal of keeping the attention on Zoey
and her message, WilD has chosen to remain anonymous. But the impetus for
his commitment to this project need not be a mystery.
Like Zoey, WilD overcame heartbreaking adversity; in fact, many story
scenes are based directly on his and his mother’s distressing
experiences. But after being told he would never amount to anything, he
became the first in his family to attend college, went on to earn a graduate
degree, and most importantly, found personal fulfillment.
Crafting Zoey’s story is WilD’s first step toward inspiring
women to reach their highest goals, even when faced with the steepest odds.
He hopes that exposing the plight of girls like Zoey will help more women
find their own voices and will encourage others to join the mission.

Excerpt 1
Life is all about perspective. We hear all the time that perspective shapes our reality, but I believe our perspective is our reality; we know no other reality than this. We are subject to how our personal biases, beliefs, and emotions influence our perceptions.
In graduate school, I worked under a very well-known cognitive psychologist for my thesis. As a graduate student, I had the opportunity to learn more about cognitive psychology, the study of how our thoughts are influenced by many things and how they lead to our behaviors and actions.
The argument could be this: Do we have a choice when it comes to
our reactions or responses, or are they things that happen spontaneously and
that we cannot influence?
Excerpt 2
When we operate under a false understanding of ourselves, we act according
to that belief. If we believe we are worthless, not good enough, or unlovable,
we will act that way. Sometimes, we know we are acting in a way that shows how
we feel about ourselves, but more often than not, we are searching for things
that match our viewpoint of ourselves. We strive to have our reality match our
perception (even if it is a skewed, wrong, and horribly inaccurate perception).
So in pursuit of confirming what we believe to be true, we often create the
chaos ourselves. That is an example of what happens when we focus too much on
the wrong things and let the fallen ways of the world influence us. It would be
like a caterpillar eating all the wrong things in preparation to enter the
cocoon. Filling ourselves up with the wrong ideas and false teachings will lead
to these false perceptions of ourselves.
