My Works

This page used to be a running tab of my manuscript skeletons but I decided to do away with it and instead offer a little peak at the things that have made it past (at least) a third or fourth draft.

When I'm not ghostwriting for others, I'm fidgeting with the third draft of my novel, scribbling short stories, pounding out children's stories about fairy dragons and mutant princesses (at the request of the children in my life). It's madness and I love every minute of it.

Author of Death (A New Noir/
Psychological Thriller Novel)

Roger Marlowe, a failed crime fiction author, is told his writing is suffering because he lacks inspiration and experience. Roger takes this to heart and begins to stalk one of his coworkers- his muse. He gets more than he bargained for. What began as a harmless activity to fuel creativity quickly morphs into something more sinister as Roger becomes his own character and gets caught up in the thrill of his own crimes. His actions soon become a tangled mess as ex-lovers, mobsters, and the police become involved. 

The manuscript currently measures in around a slim 58K (about 230 pages) . I completed the first draft of this story during NanoWrimo (2014). I'm currently pushing it through a third draft and it has been truly incredible to see it transform along the way. I've received more positive reviews than I anticipated (which is always awesome) so I'm looking forward to eventually releasing it (hopefully soon!) It follows the life of Roger Marlowe who, looking for inspiration for his pulp fiction, begins a downward spiral into crime and insanity.You can read an excerpt from the rough draft here. Or you can read the current drafts of the first 11 chapters on Scribophile (if you can find it muahahaha).
