Step into the world of Ethesia and the Damascus Guild—where magic stirs, alliances fracture, and every choice carries consequence.

I’ve been telling stories for as long as I can remember. What began as imaginative fragments of wild characters and impossible worlds has, over the years, grown into fully realized realms shaped by a lifelong passion for reading and writing. Today, I’m proud to share those stories with readers who crave adventure, mystery, and the pull of something greater just beyond the ordinary.

Born and raised in East Tennessee, I live with my wife and our three four-legged companions in the foothills that inspire so much of my work. I’m a devoted fan of science fiction and fantasy—balanced by a deep appreciation for classic storytellers like Dickens, Collins, and Dumas. That blend of influence finds its way into everything I write: sweeping, character-driven journeys with a touch of the timeless.

When I’m not writing, you’ll likely find me on stage. My wife and I are active in our local theater community, bringing stories to life in a different way—through performance, music, and shared experience. If you’re ever in Jonesborough, Tennessee, there’s a chance you might spot me under the lights.

At the heart of it all, I believe stories matter. They connect us, challenge us, and remind us that even in the darkest moments, there’s always room for wonder. If you’re ready for a journey filled with magic, intrigue, and unforgettable characters, you’re in the right place.
