BIOGRAPHY
A tragic, life-changing event occurred in my mid teens that transformed me into a creative writer, and although I paid the bills through a long career in the landscape industry, in my heart I’ve always considered myself a creative writer first and foremost. It took years of piecing together reasons for occasional bouts of sadness and esteem issues to finally understand the fact that I needed to answer that calling and to do something about it. Writing THE POE CONSEQUENCE, a story originally inspired by the number of gang affiliated housing areas I worked at, was the therapy I needed that brought me back from an emotionally tough time. My second book, YOU SAY GOODBYE, originally inspired by a story in the obituary section about Alexandra Scott from the Alex's Lemonade Stand Foundation, was the continuing byproduct of that renewed recognition of what I expect from myself.

My third novel, IN LIEU OF FLOWERS, was released on March 26th through World Castle Publishing. I describe it as a supernatural horror time traveling cemetery story that challenges the very notion of resting in peace.
