I hope your summer is off to a great start! For me, I plan to spend a little time at the beach this month, which I’m very excited for. I don’t have any real big trips planned, which will give me more time to focus on my writing! (I really wanted to visit Norway this summer but I didn’t follow through on that plan. Maybe next summer?)

Where I live it’s going to be just about 100 degrees Fahrenheit over the next few days, which isn’t usual. I think pretty much half the country is going to be ex...

Well, today’s the big day! “White Flags” is now available as an ebook or paperback, and is also available in Kindle Unlimited.

I can’t believe it’s the final book in the series. I know things have taken some wacky turns throughout, and that remains the case as we wrap everything up. When I started the series, I definitely didn’t think I’d be finishing it with our heroes battling a deranged billionaire who has tentacles jutting out of his abdomen as the final bad guy, but here we are.

I’ve had...

It’s been a while since my last post, but I’m back with some exciting news! The final book in “The Álvarez-Moreno Files” will be released on Monday, June 8. It’s a little bittersweet to say goodbye to this world and these characters. On the one hand, I started writing the series in October 2021, so it’s been with me for a while. But, on the other hand, I’m pleased with where the story ends and I’m ready to try something new.

From now until release day, you can preorder the ebook for only $0.9...

It’s been a long time since I’ve updated, but that doesn’t mean I’ve been doing nothing! I figured now would be a good time to share what I’ve got planned for the year in terms of writing and publishing. It’s going to be a quieter year for me, but I’ve got a lot of exciting things in the pipeline, nonetheless.

First, let’s talk about the final book in “The Álvarez-Moreno Files” series. I’m estimating that it will be released in May of this year. In March, it’s going to my...

Well, it’s been a few months since my last writing update, hasn’t it? There are a few reasons for that, which I’ll get into below, but I’m happy to report that I’m back! And not only that, but I’ve been inspired and have done quite a bit of writing.

Well, let’s get into it.

I don’t have a thick skin, apparently. Back in July, I got a particularly harsh review on one of my books, which kind of ruined my self-confidence for a li...

Well, today’s the big day! “The Warlock’s Revenge” is now available as an ebook or paperback, and is also available in Kindle Unlimited.

er facing off against demons, vampires, and other hellish beasts, Mateo’s earned a vacation. When his friend, Austin, invites him and others on a luxury yacht getaway, he jumps at the opportunity to finally disengage. What could be more relaxing than the crystal blue ocean and beautiful beaches?
 
But Mateo’s dreams of paradise quickly become a nightmar...

I’m so excited to announce that my new book, “The Warlock’s Revenge,” is now available for preorder! And you won’t have to wait long to read it. On Monday, September 15, 2025, the fourth book in “The Álvarez-Moreno Files” series will be released. You can preorder the ebook now for only $0.99 (or your country’s equivalent), and the paperback will be available on release day. Check out the cover and blurb below.

After facing off against demons, vampires, and other hellish beasts, Mateo’s...

Last month I was lucky enough to visit Scotland, and I had the most amazing time. I’ll be honest and say it wasn’t initially high on my list of places to visit, but I couldn’t be happier that I went. I turned forty earlier this year and I wanted to take a trip to celebrate. Schedules didn’t exactly align with friends or family, so I decided to go someplace myself. After doing some research, I settled on Edinburgh because it seemed like a good place to go if someone was traveling alone. I travele...

This entry is going to be a little light on recommendations because I’ve been a little busy. Earlier this month I traveled to Scotland for a week and had the absolute BEST time. Sometime soon I’ll post about my trip and share some pictures but, let me tell you now, you need to visit Scotland. I was mostly in Edinburgh, and I had so much fun while I was there. I went to museums and castles, took a tour of the West Highlands, and even celebrated Pride. The weather couldn’t have been more beautiful...

Happy Pride Month!! Given what’s going on in my home country right now, I think it’s more important than ever to celebrate things like this. Diversity, equity, and inclusion are part of, or should be part of, the fabric of this country and I refuse to hear otherwise. I’m very proud of who I am and I deserve the same rights as anyone else. Members of the LGBTQ+ community should feel safe here, but we don’t. When trans men and woman, especially those who are people of color, are getting murdered, ...
