New novel coming out in 2024!

I am thrilled to announce that my horror debut, PYRAMIDIA, is to be published in February by Slashic Horror Press!

Harriet hates pyramid schemes. They’re predatory and tear relationships apart. So when she moves to Bentwood and finds the town is overrun with MLMs and girl bosses, she’s horrified. It doesn’t help that her rental is haunted and one of the pyramid schemes seems to be run by literal vampires 🧛‍♀️ When her friend goes missing, Harriet teams up with the woman she loves to scale the pyramid, wooden stake in hand 🔪

It’s satirical, it’s spooky. It’s just a good time! You can add it to your “to read” lists on Goodreads now! Can’t wait until February! ❤️

Books of Horror Community Anthology Volume 4 Preorder Open!

My short story, “It’s My Birthday,” was selected for publication in Volume 4, Part 2 of the Books of Horror Community Anthology.

This book and part one are available for preorder now! They’ll be released on September 23, 2023.

My contribution is about a man struggling with intrusive thoughts and mirrors my own battles with the topic. Strange things keep happening and he’s wondering if perhaps he’s thinking these events into being. He’s got a special phrase he uses to clear his mind and prevent mayhem: “It’s my birthday.” I hope you enjoy it!

Laura is an alien abductee, but rather than screaming as she’s drawn into the UFO, she’s singing. Or so she’s told. Seeking opportunity, Laura’s father turns her into a child star, forcing Laura to perform her song to UFO devotees. But when he dies, and the money runs out, her mothersells her to a freak show.

Within a stinking tour bus, a fire dancer, a psychic, and a time traveler force Laura to unravel the truth. Was she actually abducted, one of the chosen few to be given a glimpse of what’s beyond the stars? Or is she just a publicity stunt, forced into the light by those willing todestroy a little girl’s ordinary life?

Singing All the Way Up is the story of extraordinary transformation. It’s a story of our search for the truth and the horrors hiding within ourselves and within the stars.

Hearth & Coffin: Consume

I’m super excited to announce my short story, “The Storage Closet at the Murray Public Library” was published by Hearth & Coffin! Check out the CONSUME issue for some seriously great pieces!

This is secretly my first published horror story (all my previous pieces have been “literary,” whatever that means). I’m very happy to be able to confidently call myself a horror author. I guess this piece is kinda cosmic, kinda weird. But I do think the closet is horrific. Let me know what you think!

Singing All the Way Up is coming July 2023!

Here’s an exciting update: My debut novel, Singing All the Way Up, has a tentative release date of July 2023.
