About Me

Thanks for stopping by!

I wrote my first book entitled "The Wonders of Unicorn Creek" at age 11. My tiny elementary school published it, and it was a whopping 9 pages long. Since then I've been an avid reader and writer of dark fiction.

My short stories have been published on the internet as well as in print magazines and paperback anthologies. My short story "Immortal Beloved" was a finalist for a Bram Stoker award.

I'm currently searching for the right agency to represent my Night Trilogy. Look for more publishing news soon!

When I'm not writing, I'm singing. I'm a professional vocalist, performing with the San Diego Opera as well as other musical theater companies in San Diego. I recently realeased a CD of Broadway Showtunes that is available on Amazon and iTunes.
