In fall of 2017 I answered a submission call for short, scary stories. I was not expecting my story to be accepted, much less for the editors to reach out to me to ask if I had any more work I’d like to send in. I quickly penned a second piece and it too was snapped up immediately. Thus began my part time career as a fiction writer. As of September of 2022 I’ve self-published two anthologies of horror shorts, and had my work featured in nearly a dozen collections. In 2021 I signed with Velox Books and my self-published volumes were rereleased under that imprint. As if that weren’t enough, I’ve also been honored to have several of my stories brought to life by the incomparable NoSleep Podcast.
