The Midnight Vault  

My journey with the written word began when I was nine, scribbling poetry and little stories. By twelve, I had finished my first full-length manuscript, and at sixteen, I won my first poetry award. What began as a childhood passion ultimately became a lifelong devotion. 

You may have encountered my traditionally published works through HarperCollins. Or maybe you've read my prose secretly woven into other authors’ books during my more than two decades as a ghostwriter. But while those public works unfolded, something was quietly brewing in the shadows. Stories steeped in mystery, shadow, and enduring faith, never read by anyone beyond my front door.

And now, they're stepping into the light.

Spanning decades, these works represent the pure love of the craft. The collection ranges from gripping, atmospheric Christian Gothic suspense and immersive Christian dark fantasy to rich short stories, deep narrative poetry, and children’s books. Every piece carries a memory of where it was born: in study halls, at library desks, during hurried office lunch breaks, between tight client deadlines, on vacations, or in the stillness of the midnight hours while holding my infant. 

Some of these manuscripts were written many years ago; others were completed recently (but no later than 2025). Every piece is entirely human-authored by me and will be formally verified as such by the Authors Guild. 

And I'm thrilled to share that I am signing with Vermilion Publishing, which will be bringing this entire collection to life through a series of staggered releases beginning in 2027.  More information to come.
