Palm Springs. Finalist in 2023 Vocal Writing Awards - Horror Fiction.
You know when you get there. For miles and miles in every direction, the earth is dead and dusty. Heat pushes against your car and tumbleweeds drift between fields of solar panels and wind farms. But as soon as you cross the border, the arid ground turns to lawn. Flowering bushes and swaying palm trees line the wide paved streets. It’s beautiful and more than a little eerie. Part of you thinks this is an oasis, the other wonders if it’s a mirage.

Penny Dreadful Chapter 3
Prologue Dear Diary, Someone has taken my picture… I must destroy it at all costs. I can’t afford to be found. They can’t find me. She can’t ever find me again.

The House Of Whispers
Title: "The House of Whispers" Nestled on a quiet street in the small town of Willowbrook, the Anderson House stood as an enigmatic anomaly among the cheerful suburban homes. Its sinister facade, with cracked windows and ivy-covered walls, sent shivers down the spines of those who passed by.

Have you ever almost died?
On April 21st of 2017, I was in my neighborhood knocking on doors and introducing myself to the neighbors. I was a 1st year realtor, trying to get my business going. Toward the end of a 4 hour day of door knocking I approached a door and rang the bell. Almost immediately felt nauseous and knew I was about to pass out.
