Welcome to my page! I'm thrilled to have published my first book, Spiral, which is available on Amazon and will be available on Kindle Direct shortly.

Spiral is the story of starlet Cherie Belle, who begins going through a very wild, very public rebellion following the tragic death of her parents. With intense media scrutiny around her every move and no one telling her "no," Cherie gets mixed up in all sorts of bad situations that are broadcast to the world. Unfortunately, the only person close to Cherie who recognizes she's headed for trouble is our narrator, Jack, who juggles having a celebrity join his family with the strong feelings he is developing for her. Throughout the book, the reader gets a glimpse into the fake celebrity news website, dirterazzi.com, and hears what they have to say about what they and their sources witness. Ping ponging between Jack's genuine perspective and Dirterazzi's questionable, possibly exaggerated articles gives readers a glimpse into just how hard it is to decide how much of celebrity news is fact and how much is fiction, as well as what gray areas we may miss as an audience who doesn't necessarily get the full story.

On the night of publication, I posted a blog on my site, www.spiralseries.com, about fame and whether or not celebrities should expect intense scrutiny over their private lives. What do you think? Do you have a passion for celebrity gossip? Do you feel badly for famous folks? Sound off here and tell me what you think!
