Thin Places
The Shadows of Miskatonic: Book Two
Bodies falling from the sky, a serial killer on the loose, and endless bureaucracy.
Winter quarter has begun at Miskatonic University.
Ellen Logan wants nothing more than to join the school’s “special program”, but the administration refuses to admit her. Then there’s the charismatic celebrity who’s stalking her. A man who claims he’s a demon from another world.
When her friend is kidnapped, Ellen once again teams up with Professor Andrew Carter. Their investigations lead them to the site of a mysterious plane crash and an encounter that plunges her into the Dreamlands. With the help of new allies, Ellen must find a way to return to the real world where her friend’s life hangs in the balance.

I love monsters. But I have to care about the people who fight them, even if I don’t always agree with the decisions they make.
A Writer’s Work
The Work documents my journey as a self-published author as well as the things that inspire my creativity.
The World
The World shares elements of the series that I didn’t have room for in my books, including Andrew Carter’s course at Miskatonic University, “Weird Art Through The Ages.”
Strange But True
Tales of real-life strangeness. The kind of stuff that might find their way into my stories….
