author of horror and weird fiction
Cowboy Coven, my weird western about love, witchcraft, and what may or may not be Mothman is set to come out in 2027 with Quill & Crow Publishing House! Stay tuned for more information!
This book has been through a lot so I’m happy to see it find a good home.
That’s right—Slashic Horror Press will be publishing my next silly and satirical novel, DROPSHIPPED, in July 2025.
This book is a creature feature reminiscent of Gremlins and Critters. A lonely mom orders a kitchen gadget online only to open the package to find something monstrous. The story follows both the mom and the enterprising, but misguided young man whose get-rich-quick business has sparked the apocalypse. It’s a lot of fun! I can’t wait to share it with you.
A cover reveal and preorder are coming soon. Stay tuned!
My pyramid scheme horror novel, Pyramidia, is now available! Order here!
I’m very excited for this book to be out in the world. Check out some of the reviews and add it to your Goodreads lists!

When Harriet moves to Bentwood to teach gifted students, her new life doesn’t go as planned. Between her haunted rental and her oddball neighbor, Lucy-who literally won’t go away—Harriet is left questioning her own sanity. The beautiful Kelsey, whom she meets at the farmers market, offers the distraction she needs. Well, that, and the town’s Multi-Level Marketing (MLM)—or pyramid—scheme.
The enigmatic group of women selling wellness in the form of Serenitea, with their perfect hair, flawless skin, and piercing eyes. She is drawn to the tea, the wellness, the tranquility….. So what if she has to sell a few bags of tea?
You have a new descendant.
Sinking deeper into Serenitea, Harriet can’t stop drinking the tea.
She keeps getting emails about new descendants—whatever the hell that means—and the gym teacher, Harold, is giving serious pervy vibes. Even Lucy joins the MLM despite claiming the women are vampires. None of that matters, though, because Serenitea makes her feel..well. Tranquil.
Until Lucy disappears and Harriet’s world begins to crumble.
Is Serenitea really a bunch of beautiful vampires? So what if they are? How far will Harriet go for tranquility?
Join us for a live book launch on Instagram! On February 15 at 7pm EST I’ll be chatting with David-Jack Fletcher from Slashic Horror Press and author Angela Sylvaine. We’ll be celebrating the publication of my pyramid scheme horror novel, Pyramidia!

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! ❤️
I’ll be at Book Fest Huron at the Huron, Ohio Public Library on November 18 from 10am-1pm!
I’ll have copies of Singing All the Way Up, bookmarks, alien pins, and possibly copies of the Books of Horror Community Anthology!
I am so excited to network with some writers and readers! Hope to see you there!
Surprise! You can now preorder the Kindle edition of Singing All the Way Up on Amazon. The ebook will be delivered to your Kindle on June 28–a whole two weeks before the paperback arrives! Don’t forget to leave a review.
Paperback preorder still starts June 28!
If you’re looking for something moody with a little X-Files intrigue, this might be the book for you!
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.
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!
I’ll be at the Norwalk, Ohio public library on April 1 from 11am-1pm for their incredible Author Book Fair. Since my book isn’t out yet, I’ll be passing out bookmarks and links to short stories. Hope to see you there!
