Welcome! I write stories where secrets kill and truth won’t save you. My worlds blend the grit of small-town murder with the shock of alien conspiracy, where survival is never clean and redemption comes with a cost. If you crave mysteries that burn slow and thrillers that hit hard, step inside.
My love of stories began in high school, thanks to two people: a close friend and an English instructor who once called me “the rebel without a clue.”
That teacher challenged me to earn credit by reading the masters of historical fiction. From Frank Norris, Leon Uris, Ken Follett, and others, I learned that history could pulse with danger and intrigue. My friend introduced me to Frank Herbert and J. R. R. Tolkien, and I was hooked on worlds where imagination rewrote the rules.
Born into a military family, I followed that path until four years of “yes, sir,” “yes, ma’am,” and waxing floors taught me there had to be more to life. A long corporate career followed. Global travel, sharp lessons, and a thousand human stories that refused to stay quiet.
Now based in Minnesota, I write fiction fueled by curiosity, shaped by experience, and driven by characters who fight to uncover truths that never come without a price.
