FAMILY TIES

The truth is closer than anyone realizes.

Family Ties opens the world of The River Protocol. What begins as one person's search for answers becomes a confrontation with buried history, fractured bloodlines, and a truth powerful enough to change everything.

​


Some secrets are hidden to protect the people we love. Others are hidden because the truth was never meant to survive.

This is where it begins

Chapter Zero

When you join the waitlist, you will receive Chapter Zero — an exclusive prequel that reveals what was already in motion before Family Ties begins. This chapter is not available anywhere else

Nothing Is Placed Without a Reason.

History does not disappear. It passes through names, inheritance, and silence.
​
What looks like protection becomes control. What feels like loyalty may be a chain. In the River Protocol, bloodlines carry consequences.

This is part of a larger system

Each story reveals another layer of the protocol — different players, different consequences, the same underlying design.​
Nothing exists in isolation.
Every thread connects.

ENTREPRENEUR

I was born in New York and raised between worlds—between languages, cultures, and truths that didn’t always align. The Bronx shaped my early years. A year in Berlin at twelve changed the way I saw the world.
At twenty-seven, I discovered that the man I believed to be my biological father was not.Beyond writing, I am an entrepreneur and the founder of The Studio by JEC Group, where I combine decades of experience in design, cabinetry, and construction to help clients build spaces that reflect their lives and aspirations.
Whether through my novels or my businesses, my mission is the same: to build, to create, and to leave something that matters.
