The Photograph Chronicles are the adventures of Dana "Photograph" Jefferson and her amazing mechanical roller skates as she discovers herself and the legacy of her family. This action-adventure series for young and new adult audiences reflects on what we inherit from our family and how we let it define or refine who we are and who we will become. For fans of adventure, light science-fiction, and new adulthood themes and challenges.

Photograph and the Atomic Juggernaut

Dana Jefferson’s life is simple. She’s just a regular twentysomething in New Jersey with an ex-girlfriend, a roller derby team, and a pair of military grade roller skates named Laverne and Shirley from her deceased father.

She also has a deathbed edict from her grandfather to bury his invention, a terrifying military robotics project codenamed the Atomic Juggernaut.

When Dana meets Nick, a perpetually bored local who feels trapped in the doldrums of ordinary life, they begin an adventure that will challenge their new partnership, if it doesn’t kill them first. A shadowy organization with ties to Dana’s family history are looking to obtain the Atomic Juggernaut before she can for their own sinister purposes, and it’s up to Dana and Nick to stop them as they learn the truth about her family’s legacy and the power of true friendship.

Photograph and the Daughters of Invention

Someone has a pair of Dana’s roller skates.

As if moving to New Mexico to start a new life while searching for her mother wasn’t hard enough, Dana Jefferson can’t control her panic attacks. A stranger on high-tech roller skates may hold the key to her mother’s whereabouts, but a paramilitary group with ties to her past have put everyone’s life in peril. She still has Nick, her best friend, but new feelings are complicating their friendship. If she could just figure out who the new skater is, she might be able to uncover her mother’s fate, stop a terrorist organization, and fix her head and her heart.

Photograph and the Daughters of Invention is the action-packed sequel to Photograph and the Atomic Juggernaut. Dana Jefferson’s continuing journey is about finding purpose and taking responsibility as she roller skates through the lives of family, friends, and foes.

  • "...I was impressed with the imagery the author used from the open scene in the story and it was terrific, all the way through. Kind of like the way Stephen King does it, where it just paints the picture with the right details to set the scene..."
