edit data

I'm a small-town North Carolina author who writes at the nebulous place where horror, sci-fi, and fantasy converge. I currently live with my two cats, Joon and Wednesday. I am fond of B-rated horror movies, outdated music, weird science, and getting lost in other worlds.

My first short story, "Anew," is a creepy tale of insidious goop, published in summer of 2012. My debut novel, Nightfall, was published by Prospective Press in 2016. The sequel, Blood Magik, is out now! ...more
