About the Author

I was born June 18th, 1979 in Clayton County Georgia and raised in Peachtree City. In '98 I attended college for graphic design, only to leave to pursue a writing career. Currently I live in Florida with husband Ben and daughters, Mia and Kirsten. Right now I'm busy working on a nonfictional book, Cherished Thief, a sci-fi/fantasy titled, Atlantic Pyramid, and a dark thriller novella, Storyteller, with future plans to begin on a three part dark fantasy series, Legend in time of the Ages.

The Warning

The longest night in Nikolai Crowe's life begins when he's framed for murdering his ex-girlfriend, Jade Sho. To save himself, he must find the real killer without getting caught by crooked cops, who rather see him dead than captured. Nikolai believes the murderer is Jade's own father, New York City Mayor Hiroshi Sho, who has orchestrated a dark plan to bring his vision of law and order over the entire country. Did the mayor arrange his daughter's murder when she learned his secret, or is her blood painted on someone else's hands? Luckily for Nikolai, he has help from a human clone identified as Alpha Replica 3007. This clone—and a band of others like him—have escaped their creator on Mill Rock Island. Now this particular clone is guiding Nikolia toward something Jade left for him before her death. What are the mayor's plans? What did Jade hide, and how is it all linked?

"Wow, the best of two worlds, a good sci-fi story and a great mystery all rolled into one. The author has woven a superb tale of murder, double-cross, conspiracy, and betrayal. The characters are first rate, and the plot is intricate enough without being over the top. I found myself pulling for the Alpha Clones in their quest to stay alive and for the protagonist to get the help needed to stop an evil plan. Very nicely done."

Atlantic Pyramid

The flight started out as per usual for flight instructor, Heath Sharp and his student, Gavin Cole, until a sudden storm forces them to crash into the Atlantic Ocean. Heath awakens to find Gavin dead and his plane stuck in the middle of a historic junkyard. The Bermuda Triangle has claimed hundreds of ships and planes over the centuries, and Heath has accidentally happened upon them. Set in the center of the junkyard is an island inhabited by nearly every pilot, sailor, and passenger of those lost transporters, still alive and unchanged. Locked in time, these immortals of the Bermuda Triangle live day after day, year after countless years in makeshift villages, trying to survive boredom, strange wildlife, and even insane Vikings. The law, thou shall not kill should never be taken lightly. The cost for breaking this rule is enduring the presence of the victim's soul forever. The island is the centerpiece of one of the world's greatest mysteries, and there is no escape for anyone caught in its web. Heath refuses to believe this foggy, dark place will become his last destination, and therefore searches for the greatest, unfound treasure—a way out.

Atlantic Pyramid is in the editing stages.

Cherished Thief

In a time when outlaws were revered as heroes, Claude Du Vall thrived as a true gentleman of the road. Born into poverty in Domfront, France, Du Vall's neglectful parents tossed him out into the world to make his mark at the tender age of fourteen. And quite a mark was made when years later he became the most infamous highwayman in British history. During his wild escapades men hunted him, women adored him, and he was haunted with the inevitability of where his chosen path would lead him. This brigand remained elusive for nearly a decade until falling into a trap at the Hole-in-the-Wall Tavern on Christmas Day, 1669. Yet, even in chains, his life story was nothing short of remarkable. Claude Du Vall drank life in while embedding his name in the book of legends, forever roaming the King's Highway by the light of the moon.

Storyteller

Eric Webb has made numerous mistakes in his past,but none as severe as getting arrested after a botched theft when his pregnant wife needed his support while struggling with her drug addiction. By the time Eric is released, she has overdosed, leaving a child with a failing heart behind. Desperate, Eric pulls another heist in order to pay for his daughter's heart transplant. He splits his loot with his partner, Post, and they go their separate ways.

After six months on the run, Eric finds himself in the Motor City, staying just outside the law's peripheral vision. One night, Post calls Eric in hysterics, begging him to tell a mysterious stranger not to kill him. Eric thinks it's some sort of joke until Post's horrific screams lurch out from the other end of the phone line. Terrified, Eric disconnects the call, but the phone rings again. This time, another voice instructs him to go about the city of Detroit and collect the body parts of his ex-partner. With each part he finds there will be a story that'll draw him closer to the reason for this gruesome hunt.
