Hey, Halloween people—it’s been a hot minute (maybe a little longer!) since my last check‑in here, but I’m turning over (hoping to!) a new leaf and aiming to keep this blog more up to date. Life got crazy - including a move to a new state - but the one constant has been my writing. Since the last post, I’ve had multiple novels and collections published, plus a bundle of short stories, and I’m excited to share the full scoop!
📚 Novels, Novellas, & Collections
Here's what I've been up to since last I blogged:
The Wakening
Fifty years ago, Father Leo Bonaventura cast a demon from a young boy in Guatemala. Asmodeus vowed revenge—and now that ancient evil has returned to a small New York town. A young girl’s possession reels in an unlikely group: a team of paranormal investigators, twin psychics, a defrocked priest with a dark secret, and a grieving father whose wife once played with spirit boards. Together, they must help Bonaventura banish Asmodeus and the poltergeist plague he brought with him.
Ragman
In 1882, British soldiers desecrate an Egyptian temple and slay its high priest… who curses them all. Resurrected in modern-day Manhattan, the priest seeks revenge—and demands help from one of the descendants involved. Two police officers, former partners now estranged, must unite to stop a supernatural mummy and retrieve the stolen artifacts before the Underworld claims more lives.
The Nightmare Man
A chilling game of Japanese Hitori Kakurenbo turns deadly when a demon is unleashed and follows a Japanese boy to America.
When September Ends
Debbie Holten and her friends hide her little sister's fatal fall down a cliff, worried they'll take the blame for her death. But when the first "death‑versary" comes, someone dies and more tragedies follow. Debbie knows it was an accident—but Mallory’s vengeful spirit doesn’t agree.
The Malthusian Correction
A stark blend of apocalyptic and ecological horror, asking just how much more nature can take of humanity's ecological follies.
The Nightmare People
A sequel to The Nightmare Man and the 2nd book of the trilogy: the Boogeyman returns to exact revenge on Ken and his family, and a North Carolina police officer has to relive his own encounter from 40 years ago as children in his town start to vanish again.
Songs in the Key of Death
A collection of dark, clever, emotionally sharp poems described by Bram Stoker‑winner Lisa Morton as “frightening, melancholy, disturbing, smart, and darkly witty.”
