It was supposed to be a short story. The Great Rip in the Sky. That was my submission for a fifth-grade assignment. I received an “F.” If my teacher — who happened to be my grandmother’s fishing buddy — had graded my handwriting, an F would have been generous. But that wasn’t the issue. She asked me if I knew what plagiarism was. I didn’t.
She told me you can’t take someone else’s work and put your name on it. After I explained how I came up with the story, my grade was changed. Then she looked straight at me and said: “If you have a gift — a God-given gift — like writing, you owe it to the world to share that gift.”
Inside, I laughed. Me… a writer? Good luck with that. And yet here I am.
To my own surprise, I stepped into the world of writing. I discovered that storytelling isn’t just imagination — it’s tension, strategy, character, and consequence.
I hope you enjoy my novels as much as I’ve enjoyed creating them.
Author of High-Stakes Political Thrillers
I’m a storyteller drawn to tension, strategy, and the human spirit under pressure.
What began as a childhood accusation of plagiarism became the unlikely spark that led me into writing political and military thrillers. Today, I craft immersive novels that explore global conflict, moral complexity, and relentless pursuit.
Through characters shaped by conviction and consequence, I aim to deliver stories that feel intelligent, urgent, and real.
If you enjoy high-stakes fiction where global power hangs in the balance, I invite you to step into my world.
