Inside the Author's Mind

Stories have always taken me to the dark side of imagination.

I'm fascinated by the quiet times when something is wrong . . . when there is a small clue that is hiding a big truth. That's why I write horror, thriller and suspense.

I'm a fan of building tension in little steps until there's mystery building page by page until the story will not let you stop reading.

When I write, I envision the reader sitting in a quiet room late at night, reading one more page.

I love planting secrets, unexpected twists and questions that keep the mind restless.

Many of my ideas begin with a simple thought, what if something isn’t what it seems? From there, the story slowly begins to unfold.
