I was excited to learn this week that my debut 24 Hours of the Phoenix was a 2019 NATIONAL INDIE EXCELLENCE® AWARDS (NIEA) Finalist in the "Thriller" category! When you realize that 1000+ novels entered this 13th annual contest, you can humbly brag. What's more, it's not everyday that you [...]

First off, happy new year to everyone! I hope you all had a bit of joy and a lot of champagne—or vice versa. And second, I wanted to share a small piece of writing I'd worked on a little over a year ago which my current reading—An Anonymous Girl, by [...]

Some say, "Don’t judge a book by its cover." Right, sure. Well, maybe you don’t, or more likely maybe you shouldn’t. Except you do. At least I do. (Feel free to throw the book at me. Pun intended.) To be fair, it’s a part of my choosing process: when I [...]

To celebrate the launch of my debut novel, I'm offering a Paperback copy of 24 Hours of the Phoenix for every 15 Kindle edition orders or pre-orders, as well as a Kindle E-Reader if I have a minimum of 50 entrants. If you have already pre-ordered the book on amazon.com, [...]

In Hour 14 of 24 Hours of the Phoenix, Gabriel, one of the main characters, lets music play in the background, and some of the advanced readers had never heard of this particular song. So here it is, listen to it; it's beautiful. Thank you again to AaRON’s management team [...]

This is me: A new author coming out of nowhere—no history, no one's ever heard of me. On the other hand, 5,000+ new books are published every day on Amazon alone. That's 3.4 million e-books out there, and counting, but e-books are relatively new and ridiculously small compared to the [...]
