My website is undergoing some major construction in preparation for my newest upcoming mystery suspense release Fall 2026. I cannot wait to introduce you to my new characters and the vigilante justice they serve.
Justice has a new name.
A psychological thriller series set in the shadows of Seattle, Washington where vigilante justice takes hold and the line between right and wrong begins to fracture.
The Shadows of Seattle Hide More than Secrets
Hunter Kelly was not meant to become this version of herself.
A twin. A survivor. A woman shaped by loss.
When her sister was murdered by the Elliott Bay Token Killer, the system failed to deliver what it promised. What followed was not planned. It was necessary.
Now Hunter moves through a city that never quite washes clean, finding the people who believe they’ve gone unnoticed. The ones who think they will never be held accountable.
Until they are.
Beyond the Shadows to Something Sweeter
Not every story lives in the dark.
Set in the close-knit neighborhood of Sellwood, these novellas and short stories explore connection, second chances, and the quiet moments that shape a life.
Rooted in community and character, the Sellwood stories offer a different kind of tension. One built on relationships, personal growth, and the unexpected ways people find their way to each other.
For readers looking for something lighter, these stories remain grounded, heartfelt, and deeply human.
