Ghosts, zombies, elves, vampires, and regular people, those are my friends, they are who I write about. I have been writing for fun since junior high. I have been writing professionally for the last ten years. My first two novels were Romero-esque zombie novels, but set in a world already aware of zombie movies. I take a group of people with different backgrounds, ages, and lives and throw them together into a world falling into chaos. No one has exceptional swordsmanship or is an expert marksman; they are normal people who have played video games, watched TV, and Movies. They know what to do; the issue is how they can do it and stay alive.

My ghost series is a horror-leaning supernatural fantasy. A young woman dies, and that is when all of her trouble starts. Malevolent spirits, grumpy demons, deals with evil witches, portals to hell, and for Chloe, it just keeps getting better?

Thorn is my latest novel, a full-fledged fantasy that explores how three individuals uncover a secret from their past that could lead to the possible destruction of their world.

I grew up around strong, capable, intelligent women. These women taught me to see people for who they are, not by their appearance. Most of my protagonists are women, and they are not to be underestimated. They use their abilities and their intelligence to overcome the obstacles their worlds throw at them.

Currently I am working on more stories for you to enjoy, a follow up to Thorn, the completion of the Grey series, and something in the realm of historical supernatural fiction. When I am not writing I am a crematory operator. I have a wonderful, independent and brilliant wife, and four strange and bizarre cats.
