Why bother? Simple: stories want to get out. And if you’re here, you probably want something a little weirder, wilder, or more honest than the usual press release. Maybe you like historical mysteries with a hint of the supernatural. Maybe you just wandered in for the snacks. Either way, you’re welcome.

So. The author website is real. It only took (checks notes)… 4 years of finally getting to this part of the list, tinkering, scrapping, and rewriting everything twice. My site was hacked years ago, and it’s taken a while to make it a priority.

Here’s what you can expect:

  • Dispatches from the writing cave—progress, setbacks, and creative breakthroughs (plus the spectacular faceplants)

  • Behind-the-scenes notes on The Reckoning of Battery Park (My First Novel) and/or whatever else is rattling around my head

  • Maps, playlists, oddities, and the occasional rabbit hole

  • Thoughts on story, power, culture, and why we keep chasing the next idea

I promise not to spam you. I will, however, try to make you laugh, roll your eyes, or think a little differently about what fiction can do.

If you want the secret handshake (and early access to new stuff), join the email list. Or just bookmark this spot and check back when you need a break from the polite, reasonable internet.

This is a work in progress. So am I. Let’s see where it goes.
