Author Bio
I’ve been making up stories for as long as I can remember—although these days I actually write them down instead of just inflicting them on friends around a gaming table.
I live in the mountains of northern New Mexico, where old legends, strange history, empty roads, ancient ruins, government secrets, and the occasional unexplained light in the night sky provide more inspiration than any writer probably deserves. It’s hard not to imagine a mystery hiding somewhere beyond the next mesa.
When I’m not writing, I’m usually playing guitar, or riding my Harley through the mountains and back roads of New Mexico. A long stretch of highway, a little too much time to think, and a town I’ve never seen before have probably started more than a few stories.
All of that eventually finds its way into my books—mystery, science, faith, history, conspiracy, and ordinary people who discover that opening the wrong door is almost always easier than closing it again.
Genre focus
When people ask me what genre I write in, I usually smile and say, “Yes.” Because for me, the lines between genres aren’t walls—they’re seams meant to be stretched, frayed, and rewoven into something new.
My stories usually begin with a strange fact—something true, obscure, and just unsettling enough to make me wonder, What if? Then I keep pushing it, following the idea farther than good sense probably recommends, until it reaches its most dangerous conclusion. From there, things tend to get out of hand. Secret labs, quantum anomalies, ancient legends, government conspiracies, and things that should have stayed buried all have a habit of showing up. I mix science fiction, supernatural horror, mystery, and thriller because, apparently, picking one genre would be too easy.
That blend—deliberate, unsettling, sometimes unclassifiable—isn’t just a style. It’s the engine behind every story I tell.
Influences
My influences are all over the map, which probably explains a lot. There’s Tolkien, R.A. Salvatore, and Moorcock. A special nod to Elric—the bad good guy who taught me heroes don’t have to be particularly heroic. Add Chaucer, Led Zeppelin, years of D & D, and an affection for detailed character sheet backgrounds, and things start getting stranger.
I’m also a lifelong mystery buff, so Christie, Doyle, and the rest of the classics are always rattling around somewhere in my head. Then there are the thrillers—Crichton, Thor—and Frank Peretti, who showed me that faith, suspense, and things lurking in the dark could all occupy the same story.
Somehow, all of that ended up in the same blender. I stopped trying to separate it years ago.
Years in the high-tech world added another layer—systems, AI, and predictive tools that keep my stories grounded even when they lean into the surreal. All of these influences blend together. I don’t keep them in separate boxes—neither does life, and neither should stories.
Writing style
My stories live at the crossroads—where high-tech meets high fantasy, where ancient myths haunt modern minds, and where science collides with the supernatural. I don’t stay inside genre lines.
I aim for that space where wonder becomes dread—and where the unknown doesn’t just threaten, it whispers.
