Fantasy with Attitude

About Me

I was born in Florida, but I've lived in North Carolina for most of my life. I've had a life-long love of fantasy and science fiction, and wanted to be a writer from a very early age.

My books are dark fantasy and science fiction. I write character-driven novels about faeries, wizards, and werewolves. You can find out more about my books here .
The long-awaited third book in my Moon, Sun, Star trilogy, Sorceress Star is available for preorder! The saga begun in Tyrant Moon and Heretic Sun continues...

When the heretic wizard Thraxis fled to barbarian lands, he had hoped to live the rest of his life in peace. But the Black Council, now led by his old nemesis Melilandra, are still driven by their lust for power. They will not rest until they have hunted down not only Thraxis, but also his daughter Dawn, a child of prophecy whose magic has the power to reshape their world.

As Melilandra's schemes spread death and destruction across the land, Thraxis and his barbarian wife Arrow must somehow find a way to stop a foe who seems invincible. And their only hope for survival may rest with a man who has vowed to kill them both...

I’m melting, I’m melting...

It's damned hot here, and not a breath of air, which is why I'm currently sitting inside a smoke-filled bar and not on the patio. We're celebrating my birthday (a day early) with beer. I'm currently d...
