What does this day really mean? I know people treat it like it’s the day the gates of Hell opens up. I’m one of those weird people who likes this day because of its horror association. My only experience with Friday the 13th involves a machete wielding masked man…zombie…demon who likes to chop up stupid people doing dirty deeds. Why is it, in…
My new ebook, Visible Through Darkness, is now available on Amazon! What if you were the only one? How strong would you be? Ethics, morals, compassion— what if they didn’t exist? What if the world treated those words as curses? Laws mean nothing. Commitment means nothing. Jade Greer’s parent taught her the old, moral, ways….

There comes a time in almost every fantasy writer’s life when we have to make a map. They can be kind of a pain and they take forever to make. Since my funds are limited, I couldn’t hire someone to do it for me. So, I did research. I pulled out all my fantasy books…
What’s worse- prison of the mind or soul? Camin Barice and Jammary Surrette are held captive by those that now rule the worlds. One is forced into a life trapped in a windowless mansion where he can never use his wings. The other can travel, but her powers and memories belong to The Custodians. Even…

I published one of my short stories, No Vacancy, on Amazon. Check it out! Never underestimate the constricting power fear holds. Everyone in the city has a demon inside them. The monsters are submissive— for now. A barrier prevents them from infecting the world. Half-human, Trinny Bates escaped demon possession. She and her guardian can…
