Writing as D. X. Dunn

The Realities Trilogy

I had a lot of fun writing this trilogy. It was a big change from what I normally write and it was interesting to write for a very specific target audience (my daughter and her friends). The best part of writing YA was getting feedback from my daughter's friends. I was thrilled that they loved it.




Catelyn is still in high school, but she plans to be an astrophysicist like her father. When he disappears, her mother insists that everything is okay.

Catelyn accidentally stumbles through a portal to an alternate reality where she finds that her mother was very wrong.

It's impossible to know who to trust. Even the other Catelyn is suspect.

Can Catelyn rescue her father from a government run by a military dictator who'd do anything to get his hands on the portal between the realities?

Catelyn is determined to get back to New Washington, the alternate reality where her parents are trapped. She knows she can trust her friends in her own world, but can they actually help her?

Cat, hiding out in New Washington, has problems of her own. With the police looking for her, she's going to have to decide to trust someone, but who?

Can the pair work together, across the realities, to rescue Catelyn's parents and get everyone back to the reality where they belong?

With the only remaining portal between the realities safely locked away, things should be returning to normal for Catelyn and her family. When someone starts writing "help" across the portal's mirror, Catelyn can't ignore the people she knows in New Washington.

Cat and her parents are making their way across the US, trying to find a place to call home in their new reality. Catelyn is convinced they're making plans to go back to New Washington, and that can only be bad news for both realities.

Catelyn and Cat will have to work together again, this time to stop Cat's parents before they can put their plan into action. But nothing is ever easy when you're moving between realities.
