Work in Progress
An Appalachian Gothic thriller that follows Max Wesley and Audrey DeVille into the Tennessee mountains searching for the mother Max believed died twenty-four years ago, only to arrive one day too late and discover she left behind a lifetime of secrets someone is still willing to kill for.
In this historical fantasy set in 1666 London, Tower executioner Mel Varnius discovers the English king is a monster determined to destroy the last relic of Apollo's broken covenant. His only hope is the forbidden magic hidden within his ancestral signet ring, but using it means sacrificing the woman he loves to save England.
Southern Shadows

Hey y'all, & welcome to a place where spooky ghost stories shared around a campfire collide with eerie superstitions whispered for generations. Stories that we laugh off in the daylight suddenly infect our minds at night until we swear a pair of red eyes is watching us from the closet.
In these pages, I'll tell you about a malevolent hag, a heartbroken woman, and the Voodoo priestess of Manchac Swamp whose legend inspired a part in Legacy of Shadows. So linger for a spell on the edge of my Southern Gothic world, where history and folklore aren't just stories. They are the possibilities that have followed you home.
