The Worlds are What You Make Them
News & Updates
The third book in the Emissary Quintet, Neverborn, is coming!
The second edition of Emissary is available in ebook, paperback, and hardcover formats! The cover art by Julisa Basak brings both Veridor and the Wastes to life.
When a deadly threat emerges from the horizon, Ewan O’Meara and Treanna Rothchild must reconcile their two worlds–whose people would rather die than acknowledge the other’s existence, much less cooperate.
What I Write
Fiction that Hurts so Good
Ever read a book where the heroes mightily bound through all obstacles without so much as a scratch? You won’t find that here. I love stories where success is hard-won through effort, suffering, and sacrifice. Where no one walks away untouched. Bittersweet, uplifting stories where choices have consequences the characters must own.
Where the Epic is Personal
As above, so below. How often in life must we discover and call upon our inner strength to overcome external challenges? One of the things I love most about stories is that they provide an arena of the imagination. A place where the battles within hearts and minds have sweeping, worlds-shaking analogues. Where the fate of everything rides on the characters’ ability to achieve their truest selves.
Fallible, Complex Characters
Understanding comes from wrestling an apparent contradiction into paradox, so why should characters get away with anything less? Whether they know it or not, they have their biases and hypocrisies, telling their own little lies of comfort. It’s tremendously satisfying to see them stop short when those lies are brought into stark relief, forcing them to grow or die.
