The Story Behind the book

This story is incredibly special to me. I’ve been working on it on and off for more than a decade, and it’s always lived quietly in the back of my mind. Recently, I finally decided it was time to bring it to life. There are pieces of me woven into every chapter, and I’m excited for readers to feel that energy and connect with it in their own way.

It wasn’t until I finished the manuscript that I truly understood what genre it belonged to Romance mixed with Fantasy and that blend felt like the most natural expression of the journey I wanted to tell. My hope is that readers not only enjoy it, but also relate to the themes of discovering who you are while discovering love at the same time.

You’ll catch plenty of Texas references throughout the book, and I hope those little touches make you smile. I also had a great time putting together the official book playlist, and I can’t wait for readers to dive into it as they read.

Overall, I’m genuinely proud of this story, and I can’t wait to hear everyone’s thoughts once they step into this world with me.

Meet Lumira

Lumira is your average girl, just trying to find happiness in life—with friends, love, and a sense of purpose. Yet beneath the surface of her everyday world, she keeps experiencing déjà vu–like encounters—brief flashes of familiarity she can’t quite explain.

Hoping for a fresh start, she moves to Texas to rebuild her life and open her heart to love. But as familiar faces and places begin to cross her path, Lumira starts to sense that her journey has a deeper meaning.

Each experience brings her closer to understanding herself, her purpose, and the connections that tie her past and present together. Born Into Now is a heartfelt story about renewal, love, and the quiet ways the universe guides us toward who we’re meant to be.
