I never set out to become an author—especially not with lifelong dyslexia and a steady career. But after being laid off from my job of over a decade, I finally had the time to chase a lingering curiosity: the strange claim that “The Muffin Man” was based on a serial killer. That rabbit hole led to two years of late nights, deep research, and hidden histories I couldn’t ignore. A lifelong true crime enthusiast and bookdragon at heart, I’ve always been drawn to the eerie and unexplained. I kept my writing secret until I uncovered too many dark truths hiding in plain sight—twisted tales behind the nursery rhymes we grew up singing. This book is the result: a mix of obsession, research, and fascination with the shadows of history. When I’m not writing, I’m a homebody with a love for family, being on a boat, and my loyal German Shepherd. But my mind is never far from the next dark mystery. Once you read these stories, you’ll never hear nursery rhymes the same way again.
