Found Mysteries Update

Hello everyone! I hope everyone is doing well in these strange times. I wanted to take a minute to inform everyone about the upcoming release of my novella set, Found Mysteries. The official release date is June 30th, so mark your calendars and keep an eye out for updates! I’m very excited to share this with all of you and hope you enjoy it!

Additionally, there will be a special contest for a beautiful 12in x 16in Print based on the cover with a quote from the book. A special thanks to Emily Congdon for helping design this cover and the subsequent poster. The rules for the contest will be explained more thoroughly later on, as well as how/where you can get your hands on your own copy of the book!

Stay safe, Stay Well!

Big Announcement!

I am self-publishing a book!

Since we are all currently in the clutches of a pandemic and staying indoors, I took some time to take a few stories that I had written and self-publish them as a complete set! I worked with my friend Emily Congdon (emilycongdon.com) to design what I think is a gorgeous cover.

The book contains three novellas:

The Death of Venus Harlow:
Venus needs to solve a murder: her own. She turns to Bryce, a local medium who helps ghosts finish their unresolved business. Together, they work through the investigation. While Bryce can’t make any formal arrests, he agrees that he’ll get the police enough evidence to make one. Venus is still learning how to use the full extent of her ghostly abilities and Bryce needs evidence before Venus’s missing person case is filed away as a cold case.

The Star Map:
Arielle sees stars, but not from familiar constellations. The stars become her obsessions. The glow-in-the-dark decorations dominate her ceiling, but she can’t figure out how she knows how to arrange her strange constellations. Her struggles turn to confusion when she sees a customer sketching bits of her star map on napkins at his table, and he introduces her to others with the same knowledge. The question that drives them all on: what might this map of stars lead to?

The Rebirth of Violet Franklin:
Death was only the second most painful thing Violet Franklin had ever experienced. The most painful thing was being brought back from the dead. Her father, a brilliant surgeon driven mad by grief, brings Violet back from the dead. After feeling like a prisoner, Violet escapes from her father’s basement and flees to a friend’s house. The only way that she’ll be able to be truly free is if she can prove she’s legally who she says she is to the court. However, Violet’s fingerprints don’t match any records, her DNA is from a dozen different people and most signs that she is physically Violet have been washed away by her father’s procedure. She needs to convince the court that she is Violet or she’ll never be able to recover from her trauma. 

We’re going to release the book early next week pending any major, unforeseen circumstances. Stay tuned with me on Twitter and Facebook for more updates as they arrive!

See What Develops

I’ve been photographing for a while, but I’ve never had the courage to try anything with film. I find that digital is easier to work with and I feel like film photographers have a certain kind of magic that I can’t quite duplicate. I decided this week to combine my love of writing and my love of photography into this piece! It has a bit more of a horror twist than I was initially expecting, but I’m actually quite pleased with how it turned out! Enjoy!

The Lighthouse

This month’s fiction comes from the depths of the ocean. I weirdly love how little we know about the waters that surround us. I always grew up close to the water and, if you look out onto the water, it’s hard not to wonder what lurks deep below. We spend so much time looking above, wouldn’t it be neat to see what’s right below the surface? Enjoy!
