Welcome.
I write contemporary fiction that explores ambition, secrecy, and the illusion of control. My latest project, Bloody Hell, delves into the ruthless world of global pharmaceuticals—and the personal cost of unchecked power.
If you enjoy stories that blend high stakes with deeply personal journeys, I invite you to explore my novels below.
Playing by the Book
When seventeen-year-old high school newspaper editor Jake Powell leaves his small Alabama town for Columbia University’s prestigious summer journalism program, it feels like a dream come true. But his father, a fundamentalist Christian preacher, senses trouble—and he’s rarely wrong.
In Playing by the Book, Jake navigates new and unfamiliar ways "up North,” starting with his feelings for a handsome Jewish classmate named Sam. What Jake could keep hidden back home now rises to the surface in the Big Apple.
Standing by his side are a sharp-tongued classmate with a Park Avenue attitude and the designer bags to match, a loyal friend from back home who isn’t sure she’s ready to let Jake go, and an outrageously flamboyant aunt determined to help Jake embrace love—and avoid the heartbreak she knows all too well.
Playing by the Book is a coming-of-age young adult novel about the joy and heartbreak we encounter in the search for our own truth.
Bloody Hell
Bloody Hell is an upmarket corporate thriller that blends global intrigue, high-stakes science, and a quietly devastating love story.
Skyler Longview, CEO of Blackwell Pharmaceuticals, has built his career on one thing: mastering outcomes. But when his new wife, Mimi, is deliberately infected with a rare, fatal virus during their honeymoon in the African nation of Zavari, Skyler faces a crisis that exposes his limits.
With less than a year before the disease becomes terminal, Skyler launches the largest global drug race in modern history. But the search for a cure spirals into a labyrinth of hidden agendas, state cover-ups, and the moral cost of unchecked power, while Mimi’s body becomes the proving ground for a treatment that may come too late.
Bloody Hell explores the limits of control, the price of ambition, and how far we’ll go to protect the people we love.
