Upcoming Book!
It has been a little more than ten years since I first published Shadows: The Beginning for the first time. Now, at long last, the second book in the series, Shadows: Red Planet is going to be published in February 2026. I am very excited to finally continue sharing this series with everyone. Stay tuned for updates and an announcement of an official release date coming soon.
Other Published Works
Last month, I published my newest book, Lost Ones of the Grian Order. This book is about four different characters who must navigate their relationships with each other and their various circumstances in order to find their place in their corner of the universe. This book is available in paperback and eBook.
In September, I published the second edition of the first book I ever published, Shadows: The Beginning. This second edition fixes all the grammar issues from the first edition as well as expands on characters and plot. You can purchase the second edition in paperback or eBook.
My book, Why Do I Write? was published on July 1st! You can purchase it as an eBook or paperback. It is a reflective autobiography exploring various lessons I have learned in my life so far. It is my hope that by telling my story, that others in similar situations as me would be encouraged. Click the link below to purchase. It is available in paperback and eBook.
Other Upcoming Publications
After I publish Shadows: Red Planet in February, I am hoping to publish one more book in 2026. It will either be an independent, stand-alone book or the third book in my Shadows series. Subscribe and follow me on social media to stay updated.
Writings in Progress
I have been hard at work writing up a new story. I came up with it in November and am already a little more than halfway done. I thought it would be cool if I finished it by the end of November, then I could finally say I wrote a novel in a month. However, I came up with the idea about halfway through November and have many other responsibilities to worry about. My new goal is to finish it by the end of December. Then, I will let that first draft sit like meat marinating for a long time before being cooked. I'm thinking that I will try to publish it towards the beginning of 2027. You may say that is so far away and wonder how I can be thinking that far ahead. However, 2027 is closer than it seems. A month from now, it will be only a year away! Also, something I've learned is that you have to plan out that far if you want to have enough time to prepare everything. Finally, it takes place in 2027. It just makes sense to publish it in 2027. Be sure to subscribe and follow me on social media so you stay informed on the progress of this young adult romance novel I'm working on!
YouTube Vlog
I started my vlog on YouTube in October. I don't my best to post a minimum of two videos a month. However, it has been extremely difficult. I am still learning to balance work and life outside of work with a baby. It's a lot but I'm learning a lot and growing every day. I want my vlog to challenge others to join me on my journey of acting instead of waiting for the "right" moment to do that thing we always said we'd do. Whether you want to have some accountability by joining a community of others taking up this challenge or just want to follow along for the ride, watch my first video, click the link below.

Merch Store
The merch store went live in July, and new merch has been added! Checkout it out!
Stories Have Power
In July, I started posting a Saturday morning comic. I have decided to keep this on hold until summer 2026 for now. With work, family, and my other author responsibilities it is too much to also be putting out comics as well. Follow along via the blog or social media so you don't miss out when my four unwitting stories discover that they have power and other valuable lessons. You can also purchase products featuring the four stories from the merch store. Be sure to follow me on social media and subscribe to email updates for more on this!
