  • What are you writing now?
    (Updated November 2024) I'm writing the next book in the FBI: Criminal Profilers thriller series: LINE OF FIRE. My goal is to publish it in April. Aside from that primary project, I brainstorm and outline many books and series at the same time. *SN: Book #2 in the Genesis Files spy-thriller series, INCOGNITO, is still out of print for re-writing and updating. I do not have a scheduled re-release date yet.
  • When is your next release?
    - CRASH AND BURN, the first in my brand new mystery/thriller series, FBI: Criminal Profilers, is out now in e-book and paperback! This released December 2023. ~ E-book link (all retailers) HERE ~ Paperback link HERE ~ Signed paperback link HERE - LINE OF FIRE (Criminal Profilers #2) - April 2025
  • How long does it take you to write a book? Do you have a schedule?
    Overall, the process takes about three to five months. This is depending on my college schedule and other personal factors. Recently, I've given myself a stricter writing schedule which implements the 4 quarters of the year. Each quarter of the year is three months long. In month one, I give myself a goal to write a novel's full outline from beginning to end. In month one, I could also be editing another project on the side or even doing a second novel outline at the same time. Then for months two and three, I set a goal to finish the first draft, taking up the rest of the quarter. In the following quarter, I do edits and set up a release date, hence working on multiple projects simultaneously in month one. This cycle repeats itself four times out of the year.
  • How can I purchase a signed book from you?
    I have my own shop HERE. This is where you can get signed copies of my paperbacks. This is also where my future titles will release exclusively before other retailers. I offer a variety of payment options, including: AfterPay, Affirm, PayPal, Apple Pay, Google Pay, and credit or debit card.
  • What are the contents of your stories?
    All of my books except for one are mysteries and thrillers. My books have elements of action, adventure, suspense, etc., and have drama and romance subplots, but do not overshadow the main mystery theme. There is no graphic violence and no open-door sexual content, but some depictions of closed-door sensuality between characters, and references to violence, trauma, crime, etc. So, the content and subject matter of these stories are comparable to a TV network crime drama such as Hawaii 5-0, Blue Bloods, NCIS, SWAT, The First 48, Chicago PD, and others. I market my books to adult audience as trade commercial fiction. My titles are great for fans of Sandra Brown, James Patterson, Iris Johansen, Karen Rose, Karin Slaughter, and similar.
  • Can I purchase your books on Amazon?
    Yes, both e-books and paperbacks are available on Amazon. However, the best way to support me as an independent author is to purchase signed books here on my website, which will be restocked soon! Where else can I buy ebooks? Barnes & Noble's Nook, Kobo, Apple Books, Google Play Books (Samsung & Android), Smashwords, your local library's Hoopla and Overdrive ebook rental platforms, and tons more.
  • Do I need to read your books in order?
    Here are the answers by series: ~ The Genesis Files - Yes ~ FBI Case Files - Not necessarily, there will just be very minor subplot spoilers when read out of order. But each novel will have its own storyline so they can be read out of order if the reader desires
