New Book Alert
A new series begins.
Discover the Paranormalist.
When a paranormal reality show host is found murdered inside a haunted house, demon hunter/occult investigator Simon Kane is the man to handle the case.
My father worshipped the forces of darkness. I fight them.
Fifteen years ago, the FBI took down Mason Kane, the most notorious black sorcerer and cult leader the world had ever seen. The media called him a monster. To me, he was just ‘Dad.’
I was only thirteen when the Feds raided my home and put an end to my father’s reign of darkness. Ever since then, the infernal deeds of my father have haunted me. I’m cursed, branded with a name that strikes fear into the hearts of everyone who hears it.
Perhaps that’s why I’ve devoted my life to becoming an expert on the occult and applying my knowledge for good. Armed with the magic of my father’s ceremonial blade, I assist the world’s law enforcement agencies when things get weird.
I've faced all sorts of otherworldly horrors over the years. Vampires, demons, witches, ghosts, black magic sorcerers. But no matter how many monsters I defeat, will it be ever be enough to wash away the sins of my father?

New series Night Slayer Begins
Book 1 in a brand new action adventure urban fantasy series begins now.
FROM COP TO DEMON HUNTER.
My Name is Jason Night. I’m a SWAT Team Commander and former Marine. I’ve experienced a lot of crazy shit in my life, and I don’t scare easily. At least not until today. After seeing my whole team get wiped out by a succubus and nearly dying myself, I’ve been recruited by a mysterious sorceress to become a soldier in a new war.
A WAR AGAINST MAGIC AND MONSTERS.
An evil web of darkness threatens our world, a global network of black wizards and creatures of the night known as the Cabal. They are everywhere and nowhere. Controlling our society from the shadows. Leading us toward the apocalypse.
THE TIME HAS COME TO FIGHT BACK.
I faced terrorists abroad, battled criminals in the rough streets of Los Angeles, but nothing prepared me for the next chapter in my life. I have to master magic and spells, battle vampires and shifters, warlocks and witches, demons and ghosts. And resist the charms of monsters as seductive as they are deadly. One thing is for sure—the future won’t be boring.
JASON NIGHT IS DEAD. LONG LIVE THE NIGHT SLAYER.

From occult detective to occult assassin
A few years back I worked as a screenwriter in Hollywood. Nowadays I'm plying my trade as a novelist. But before I ever saw a dime from my writing I was like most people reading these lines a fan of the genre. I love horror and still to this day devour movies, books and graphic novels in the genre. One subgenre I've always had a soft spot for were occult detective stories; that fine blend of mystery and thriller with a dose of the supernatural.
About a year ago, it struck me that no one had tried to really combine the action/adventure novel with the world of the occult and the idea for Occult Assassin was born. My hope is to create something new and different that will appeal to both action and horror fans, a tortured warrior waging a dangerous battle against the forces of darkness. This isn't a government-sponsored action hero but more of a vigilante who is he is fighting a secret shadow war. Mark Talon is a trained killer defined by the tragic death of his fiancé at the hands of a murderous cult. But he doesn't work alone. His missions are being sponsored and guided by another victim of the occult - Simon Casca. Simon was born into great wealth and marked by the tragic loss of his family at the hands of a satanic cult when he was only twelve. In the wake of this devastating loss, Simon dedicated himself to becoming an expert in the esoteric so that he could monitor the world for supernatural threats. When Talon and Casca meet, a dynamic team is born - assassin and occult expert, warrior and mentor, both men united under a common purpose and driven by shared tragedy.
The adventures of the occult assassin will be grounded in the real world to a degree, a dark, gothic and twisted place where evil men are trying to tap into ancient powers and unlock long forgotten mysteries. This isn't an urban fantasy populated by traditional monsters such as vampires and werewolves. As much as I love those creatures, Occult Assassin explores a different form of horror. I hope you take as much pleasure from reading Ice Shadows, the first Occult Assassin story as I did writing it.
