Who I Am: I'm an author based in Nashville, TN, and I have a deep passion for writing suspense, mystery horror, and satire novels. Ever since I can remember, I’ve been fascinated by the power of a good story to transport readers to new and fascinating worlds.
My Writing Journey: My journey as a writer began when I was around 6 or 7 years old. I wrote stories throughout my childhood and teenage years. After that, I actually stopped writing and focused on "adulting." Although I hadn't written much, I still had a knack for storytelling. I would say that has always been a talent of mine, coming up with a great story pretty much on the spot. It wasn't until recently that I actually took writing seriously and decided to become an actual author with published writings.
My Work: To date, I’ve written five books, two of which are currently published. (As of June 2024) The two that are published so far are part of the Alpha Blood - The Battle for Sanguis vampire series; Volume I: Facing Recognition and Volume II: The Diaeta Assembly. I had heard and have been told that an author shouldn't start their writing career with a series due to it's complication and hard work. BUT, me being me, I did it anyway. Why? Because I had this story in my head for some time now and I just had to get it out. Also, because I simply love a challenge. Oh, and FYI, I've never really been a vampire fan, ever! (I hope that doesn't deter true vampire fans.) It's not that I didn't like the story of vampires and Dracula, I just haven't been a fan of the direction it has been taken over the years. But, again I love a good challenge and I love to tell a story. The more intricate and detailed, the better. You can visit the website at www.Alpha-Blood.com
My other three books are Stan: The Intelligent Man (set for July 1st 2024), Dreamfall: Worst Night-Affair (set for August 1st 2024), and the third book in the Alpha Blood Series, Volume II: Gen A (set for later this fall 2024). Be sure to be on the look out for updates and more on those titles.
My stories often goes into great details about the settings and characters, often leading to plot twist and "bread crumbs" along the way. I strive to create characters that readers can relate to and root for. Whether it's a thrilling adventure or a gripping mystery, my goal is to captivate and entertain you with every page.
Behind the Scenes: When I'm not writing, you can find me working. I own several businesses currently. When I'm not working or writing I'm more than likely working on some off the wall project around the house. Projects that I've probably have never done before because I enjoy creating new things and again...I LOVE A NEW CHALLENGE! lol I also feel as if I have to be doing SOMETHING! My typical writing day involves me sitting in front of the computer and just pecking away.
I draw inspiration from random things, people, and events that may have taken place. I could be just talking to a friend, joking around, and making up some random story until I'll stop mid conversation and say, "I need to put that in one of my books." I also get some of my inspiration from the naps I often take while sitting in front of my computer writing.

I encourage you to leave comments, ask questions, and share your thoughts. Your engagement means the world to me, and I look forward to building a vibrant literary community together.
