I write stories that live in the spaces between certainty and doubt.

My books explore the quiet moments that shape people long before they understand them. A glance held too long. A truth left unspoken. A town that remembers more than it admits. Whether the story unfolds in a close knit community or under the pressure of an active investigation, the questions are often the same. What do we notice. What do we ignore. And what happens when silence carries weight.

The worlds of my stories exist within the Velvet Raven universe, a shared narrative space where different lives intersect at the edges. Some stories lean toward the familiar rhythms of small towns and buried secrets. Others move through darker psychological territory, where observation and instinct become tools for survival. Each series stands on its own, but attentive readers may recognize echoes, shared themes, and moments of quiet connection.

I am drawn to characters who watch more than they speak and to mysteries that reveal themselves slowly. My stories favor atmosphere over spectacle and tension over noise. They are meant to linger after the final page.

When I am not writing, I can usually be found building story worlds, planning the next quiet reveal, or listening closely to the spaces where stories begin.
