I spent the first part of my career as a painter. And, as painter, I have always told stories - each color, line, and compositional element speaking to an experience. My writing is simply those stories incarnated anew. My work aims to confront something within myself, transforming characters and — I hope — my readers, leaving them better at the end than at the beginning.
The Devil Chronicles Series
River Rogers seeks refuge from an abusive past in the arms of Cruz MacKenzie, a brothel owner with a dark and mysterious life. As they forge an unlikely bond, gothic themes of betrayal, haunted pasts, and the supernatural weave through their love story. Cruz’s struggle to escape his criminal world is complicated by the return of his serial killer father, forcing both River and Cruz to confront their deepest fears. In a world of shadows and danger, can they break free from the chains of their past, or will their love be their undoing?
The Flower Queen Series
It began with a dying husband and ended with a dynasty.
Desperate to ease her husband’s suffering on his deathbed and save the family farm, she made a risky decision. Her actions caught the attention of a Colombian drug lord, thrusting her into a dangerous world where she built a thriving business—but in 1978, growing marijuana was illegal in every state.
As her empire grows, so does her trouble. Her first love from high school unexpectedly reappears, but there’s a catch—he works for the FBI. Can their rekindled romance survive the collision of their worlds, or will their opposing loyalties tear them apart?
Follow their tumultuous journey in this gripping tale of second chances, opposites attracting, and a rags-to-riches heroine. In book two, the stakes rise even higher as she’s forced to work undercover for the DEA, collecting intel in Mexico. Will love conquer all, or will the past destroy everything they’ve built?
Other Books
I have some other books beyond the two series above. Two of them ('Other Worlds' and 'Hitman's Honey') are themselves the first books in series that are just getting started. A follow-up to 'Other Worlds' is in the works, and two books in the 'Hitman's Honey' series will appear later this year.
