MY WRITING
Sci-fi, mystery,
and dystopian
I’ve written 9 novels and 4 novellas, in genres including fantasy, horror, action-adventure, and historical fiction. My current favorite genres to write are sci-fi, mystery, and dystopian.
Catalyst of Control, my ninth novel, is a dark sci-fi epic coming this year.
MY VIDEOS
Exploring the art
of writing
Through my videos on YouTube, I bring together my two greatest creative passions—writing and filmmaking.
Many of my videos offer tips for writers, while others give a behind-the-scenes look at my journey in writing and publishing.
MY PHILOSOPHY
Memento
creare
My spin on the Latin phrase memento mori.
Memento mori, memento creare.
Remember you will die, remember to create.
None of us will be here forever. So with that knowledge, I want to spend the time I have creating things.
