Every Year, 100,000 People Are Abducted By Aliens

OK, that’s not true. I made it up. I’m a writer. And I can’t blame my disappearance on aliens. Don’t get me wrong, I would love to. But that’s fiction.

Nature forgives. They don't.

For the broke members of the progressive hard rock cover band, The Hanging Rock, that rhythm is a dying engine and a broken air conditioner in the ninety-five-degree South Carolina heat. Stuck in a dead-end town with big dreams of heading west to California, they are running entirely on empty.

When a rumor circulates that an old swamp-dweller named Ezekiel “Zeke” Bishop is the biggest drug dealer in the state, a reckless plan is born. It was supposed to be a simple, modified Robin Hood gig: sneak into the wetlands, take the stockpile of cash, and buy a one-way ticket to rock stardom.

But the swamp holds secrets far more lethal than its natural predators. As a single, accidental gunshot shatters the humid afternoon air, the band triggers a horrifying trap. The land is fiercely protected. One by one, they are hunted by their own sins, subjected to a brutal, supernatural reckoning where every ounce of pain they inflicted is returned tenfold.

The Hollow Man

Beware of the Red Chair

In 1984, an ancient terror emerged during an early season snowstorm. Four teenaged boys disappeared.

Sara Tate is not your average twelve-year-old—she has the unique ability to see and communicate with the supernatural. After a mysterious vision connects her to the decades-old disappearance of the boys, Sara realizes she’s witnessing a nightmare from the past: The Hollow Man, a ghostly figure who feeds on children’s souls.

When Sara’s brother Charlie becomes the Hollow Man’s next target, she must venture into a decaying realm called “The Hollow” to save him. There, she discovers the imprisoned souls of countless children taken over the centuries. What begins as a rescue mission soon reveals a connection to dark witchcraft that stretches back to the 1800s.

As past and present collide, Sara faces her greatest challenge yet: not only must she confront the Hollow Man, but she must also discover the truth about her own extraordinary abilities before more children disappear.

THE HOLLOW MAN, a spine-tingling supernatural thriller, is the fourth book in the Project Specter Mysteries. It blends nostalgic 80s references with modern-day horror while exploring the bonds of family, the power of courage, and the haunting question of what happens to souls lost to Darkness.

Be Still My Dead Heart

Sometimes evil grows from beautiful things.

Sidney Campbell dislikes a lot of things. But she hates the county fair. Her boyfriend, Billy Easton, loves loud music, questionable rides, and anything fried. In the end, Sidney caves to the pressure of Billy’s relentless pleas.

The things we do for love.

Rain threatens Billy’s fun but gives Sidney hope. The lovers seek refuge aboard “The Love Escape.” When the lights go out, the ride is far from a romantic spin. In the darkness, true love is tested when emcee, Mister Smiles, demands a testament of devotion. To prove his love is genuine, Billy must pass three tests of the mind, body, and soul—ending with the ultimate sacrifice for love.

But that’s only the beginning of Sidney’s story.

Some loves are worth dying for. Others are worth dying to escape.

BE STILL MY DEAD HEART is a darkly comedic psychological horror novella that explores love’s capacity to destroy and death’s capacity to enlighten. Blending visceral horror with pitch-black humor and existential dread, this twisted tale shows the only thing more dangerous than opening your heart is meeting someone who sees the darkness inside you—and isn’t afraid.
