About
Rebecca Danzenbaker believes in trusting your gut and chasing your dreams. That probably explains her massive career jumps – from teaching elementary school music, to managing a team of 25 at Congressional Quarterly, to running an award-winning photography business, to writing young adult novels. When she’s not editing words or photos, she’s either reading, hiking, sending memes to her friends, volunteering, planning incredibly detailed travel itineraries, being a goofball on social media, or cheering on her husband and two children as they chase their own dreams. Soulmatch is her debut novel, the culmination of five years of blood, sweat, and tears. She did it!

Soulmatch
Two-hundred years after World War III, the world is at peace, all thanks to the soul-
identification system. Every 18-year-old must report to the government to learn about
their past lives, a terrifying process known as kirling. Good souls leave the institute with
their inheritance, a career path, and if they’re lucky, a soulmate. Bad souls leave in
handcuffs.
It's a nerve-wracking ordeal for Sivon, who, given her uncanny ability to win every chess
match, already suspects her soul isn’t normal. Turns out, she was right to worry. Sivon’s
results stun not only her, but the entire world, making her the object of public scrutiny
and anonymous threats.
Saddled with an infuriating and off-limits bodyguard, Sivon is thrust into a high-stakes
game where souls are pawns and rules don’t exist. As deaths mount, Sivon must
decipher friend from foe while protecting her heart against impossible odds. One wrong
move could destroy the future lives of everyone Sivon loves, and she can’t let that
happen, even if they’ll never love her back.
