My favorite-(I think)


Years ago a small child was taken from his home not far from where I live. The child was never found. His disappearance haunted me over the years, and still does. Hopefully, someday I will know what happened to that little boy. This is one of the reasons I was compelled to write TAKEN.

New Book Release



How far would you go to protect your child?

Welcome to the fictitious little town of Watery, Pennsylvania where stay-at-home mom, Mary Jackson has reason to fear her child will be taken again.

Snatched from her crib in the middle of the night as a newborn, two-year-old Jena’s abductor’s whereabouts is suddenly unknown. And on top of that, another child snatcher and killer lurks close by.

From The Author

I wrote this novella because some readers of my book Taken wished I had told them more about Mary’s little brother Michael and his killer. Others wanted to know what happened to Jena’s abductor. I was curious as well. So there you have it.

Tuesday, April 19, 2016

On Gabriella's sixteenth birthday, her mom drove to the local bakery to pick up a cake and never came home.

Not knowing who her father is, Gabriella is sent to live with an aunt she never knew existed. She suspects the woman is a fraud. But before she can prove it, they are chased through a portal and the bizarre adventure begins. It is no accident Gabriella ends up in a strange land full of danger, mystery, shape-shifters, and a budding romance.

Author’s Note

Savior is a 25,000 word novella and was my first attempt at writing a fantasy for teens and adults. I plan to continue with Savior, provided you the reader wants to read more about the characters I created. I want to know what happens next. Do you?
