I’m thrilled to finally share a project that has been close to my heart for years, the Lorem Ipsum Mystery Series. After recently revisiting these manuscripts, salvaged from the old corrupted file of words once thought lost, I’ve fallen in love all over again with the world of Braedon Cove and its protagonist, Ali Undershot.

Artificer’s Curse: Origin of Daedalus
Venice, 1474 Even through the mask, the smell of charred flesh lingered. Giovanni Trismegistus wiped the blood from his hands onto his apron and studied the body laid out before him on the table. The corpse’s mouth remained fixed in a silent scream, eyes wide with the final terror of a man who had glimpsed […]
Writing, Cancun, Mexico
For the last three months I have been living in Cancun, Mexico, taking a break from hiking, focusing on all the projects I’ve had in my head for far too long. I came to get dental work done, and haven’t yet found a reason to leave. Since I’ve been here, I’ve built a crypto wallet […]
The Return of Bernard, the Burglar Cat
Cat Burglar and the Golden Egg is now available on Amazon Kindle! Bernard, the burglar cat, is a nod to one of my all-time favorite mystery series: the Burglar novels by Lawrence Block. Like Block’s books, Bernard’s story let me play with the line between crime and fun, but with whiskers, a tail, and a […]

Two New Books Now Available on Amazon Kindle
It has been nearly seven years since I last published anything. In that time, I’ve wandered across deserts and mountaintops, lived out of my backpack, slept under the stars, and completely lost track of what it means to sit still long enough to write a book. The truth is, life has been both amazing, and […]
Between Pages and Pixels
In 2022 I lost years worth of unpublished writing. Now, living in Cancun, in my own sort of monk-like retreat, I have cracked open the corrupted file that once held my hopes and dreams of a future earning a living as a writer. Not everything is there, not everything is complete, and what remains is […]
The Harvest
It takes a farmer to understand the Rapture. I was in the field at dawn, knees deep in wet cucumber rows, when the rain started, soft and steady, like a whispered warning. The patter on the leaves reminded me of a lullaby. But today it carried something else, as if nature herself were signaling something […]
Florida to Cancun
Hiking across Florida was everything I’d hoped, good people, endless sky, and a life spent outside. But beneath the ease of it all, a nagging thought filled me with subtle dread. A goal left unfinished. Something that felt beyond my capabilities, beyond what I could take on while living out of a backpack. And yet, […]
