His life's mission is fueled by a deep, personal burden and a commitment to justice, but beneath his controlled and intimidating exterior lies a profound vulnerability.

My fiance is pissed because I haven't left this computer for a whole week but finally I can say that Unheard is complete. Time to start the editing and publishing process.
Fans make a difference

I just wanted to take a minute to say "Thank You" this has been a rough patch in life and I don't wear emotions on my sleeve like mobst. I tend to get myself buried in my work and other projects to deal with loss. I did have one fan reach out and tell me how much Unseen helped him through a tough time and I truly appreciate the fact that my works could have an impact on a complete stranger. Thank you.
Untouchable
07/10/2025
I haven't even finished Unheard and I've already started brainstorming Untouchable. i think this installment is going to focus more on the main bad guy and a little bit of his back story. I may have neglected him a little in the first two books. Oopps.
Crisis Dodged
07/05/2025
Whew... I almost made a huge mistake today. Elijah almost got a long lost brother. I started to write a whole chapter about it and then I though about how typical that situation is in this genre. I immediately trashed the whole chapter and started something else that I think you'll like even more. Definitely going to be introducing a new character that I know you all have questions about. It won't be a long lost brother..lol.
Time To Start Book 2: Unheard
07/02/2025
Unseen ended in a perfect spot. It made the beginninngs of Unheard so easy to write. I want to really intrigue and shock the reader in this book. I'm aiming for more secrets, more depth and I want to give a proper introduction to the main villian.
I can't wait to see your reaction.
Unseen is officially an audiobook

I know I'm supposed to be on vacation today but I really wanted to push this project right now. Don't get me wrong, I'm still enjoying vacation but I'm so happy that Unsee was approver by Findaway voices and Pocket.FM. The reception from my readers has been overwhelming and amazing. Thank you all.
Published Unseen on Google Play and Amazon
6/15/2025
Such a grueling process. Publishing sucks. I worked through it on Google Play but they like to reject everything so all of the coverart and formating has to be perfect before you submit it. I'm just complaining a little bit but it all got done and Amazon is ready to distribute Unseen as of today. I'm so excited!!!
Completed final chapter of Unseen
06/13/2025
This was really a monumental moment for me because I wasn't really sure how I wanted to end the first book. At first, I wanted it to end with a declaration of committment from Elijah to Imani but somehow as I continued to write, I ended up digging Elijah deeper and deeper into a dark hole. I realized that I had made his character untouchable and damn near perfect. I wanted to make him vunerable .And that's why I think the final chapter was the best course of action.
What do you think?
