How do you forge a future with no past?
In a fit of desperation, Donovan sold his soul for one final spell, and with it all his memories were erased.
Including the reason he used the spell in the first place.
Lost in a world he does not remember, Donovan’s new beginning involves fur hunting and trading in the wealthy merchant-run city of Nightingale. But like most soulburned, his heart longs for his forgotten past. The opportunity to fill that longing comes in a way most unexpected—and unwelcome. A bloodthirsty kingdom starts raiding the farms and forests near the city, and Donovan signs up to fight alongside his tormentors: the Nightingale Guard.
When these raids become a full scale invasion, Donovan is sent on a suicide mission to seek help from one of the most unlikely of places: the unpredictable, savage fey. If he fails, Donovan will lose the city and the woman he loves, and prove once and for all that there is no future for those who sacrificed their souls for magic.
The Crown of Nightingale features a classic good vs. evil story with the following high-lights:
– Courageous male lead who must forge a path ahead.
– Martially sound medieval combat.
– Strong, driving plot in a story that moves.
– A satisfying resolution that leaves the door open for the rest of the trilogy.
– Magic and mysterious old ways long forgotten.

The Gate Jumper is a Steampunk tale of revenge, love, betrayal, abandonment, and most of all: courage to take a shot and risk it all for one chance at paradise.
Release date TBD, free short stories available in this series.
Coming 2026: The Crown of Fallavon (The Crowned Series Book 2).
Book 2 in this series has gone through a number of re-writes. I know that middle books in trilogies are infamous for being the least favorite and dragging on. That was the last thing I wanted. What’s in the works now is a story packed with adventure, courage, and a showdown between humans and gods you will not want to miss.
