Horror writer | Author of the ROOM OF CLOTH series, SIMULACRUM, and INFLUENCE

The last month has been crazy with promoting my upcoming fourth novel, INFLUENCE! All the promises to update this blog mean nothing, ha.

INFLUENCE is a standalone horror novel that blends elements of ROOM OF CLOTH and SIMULACRUM--it's leaner, but I think just as intense as those two books.
