Hello! It’s with great excitement that I can share my first self-published story is available to purchase. Frenetika The Mage is a prequel novella to it’s companion video game, FRENETIKA. You can purchase an e-book version (which is also free with kindle unlimited) or purchase a fancy shmancy paperback version!

Hello! For the past two-ish years I’ve been fiddling away at a game. Sometimes feverishly, other times absentmindedly.

This is my newly redesigned site. My goal is to use it mainly as an active blog. I hope to share stories, thoughts, drafts, and anything else that pops into my head here. My next creative goal is to write everyday in November on a new book idea I’ve had.
