All of my books are written for readers who want to question reality, explore the edges and oddities of our world, and feel deeply. But across my catalog, you can choose your exact emotional destination–dark, light, or gray:

For the Thrill-Seekers (The Dark):

  • The Heavy & Harrowing Mood: Perfect for readers who want to walk directly into the shadows and confront high-stakes systemic control or intense supernatural horror.
  • The Stakes: Life and Death. Where the danger isn’t just physical, but deeply mental, emotional, and metaphysical.

Still not sure where to start?

If you can’t decide where to start, my most popular book to date is Corbin Kohl Baited in Hell. People seem to like that one. It’s the second book in the series, but you’ll be fine reading it first. (But it will create spoilers for Book 1, if you decide to read that, too. Just FYI.)
