About

The Vampire genre has always been a great love of mine and my passion for the topic is what led me to write my first novel.  I am a paranormal author who early on in my writing career decided to publish independently.   The idea of having full creative control of my work was appealing to me and has been very rewarding.

Aside from vampires, I am intrigued with all things supernatural.  I find the writing process a great way to pursue these interests and express my thoughts on humanity and morality.
