It’s really weird seeing everything happening and saying ‘hey, wanna buy my book?’
Providence Supernatural Crimes Unit is book one in my urban fantasy horror series. It blends the grit of police procedural with supernatural horror, perfect for fans of The X-Files, True Detective, and Supernatural.

'Providence Supernatural Crimes Unit' has been called fast-paced, chilling, and atmospheric, combining the gritty realism of police procedural with supernatural horror. An ideal read for fans of The X-Files, Harry Dresden, True Detective, and Supernatural. 💙📚 🩸📚 #urbanfantasy #horror

Exciting news! My dark dystopian anti-Ai story ‘Virtuality’ is now available in the CultureCult Press anthology ‘Starved’.
‘Virtuality’ is a tale of how Ai is destroying our world while tricking us into thinking it’s just an innocent plaything.

It has been a fantastic week! I've sold two new stories to upcoming anthologies AND I finished the first draft of a new story I've been working on for weeks!
I just love being an author. It makes me happy to create these stories and put them out there in the world for people to enjoy.

I submitted my first short story of 2026 and I love it! Real gruesome horror! It will be a while before I hear back from the publisher if they buy it, but it’s great to have a new story out there.

As we enter the new year and put together our reading plans for 2026, I wanted to put together a quick guide on how to review books on sites like Goodreads, because it is so incredibly important for indie authors and small publishers! 💙📚 #bookreview

The life of a horror author.
I do feel this sometimes when the weather outside is beautiful, or there’s that fresh blanket of crystalline snow sparking in the sunlight, and I’m writing a story about an eldritch horror crawling out of the fetid shadows and eating people. #horror 💙📚 🩸📚 #horrorwriter
My story ‘The Black City’ is now free to read in the January issue of The Horror Zine! I’m so honored to be included in this great collection! 💙📚 🩸📚 #horror #freebook

Does this happen to other horror authors? I’ve definitely been creeped out by scenes I’ve written. 💙📚 🩸📚 #horror
