My Mad Ravings (my blog)
Removed from the general
public, high in the outskirts of
the city of Corners, Oregon,
The Sanitarium houses the
criminally insane. Something
sinister beats at the heart of
Sanitarium. Something
seeping through the walls. If
the inmates weren't crazy
before they were committed,
they are now.

Sanitarium explores the
depths of human emotion,
the intensity of insanity, and
blurs the lines between real
and imagined threats. The
characters are haunted by
themselves as much as the
spirits around them.
Dark Speculative Fiction is fun, a safe adrenaline
rush, a way to experience certain emotions one
wouldn't normally be able to experience in a
controlled environment. Some call it horror.
But others would argue that horror is not a genre,
rather, it is an emotion which can be found in
various genres.

Readers won't find romance here. Nor light-hearted
girls skipping through flowers. Readers will find
dark humor, the macabre, the sinister. Readers will
discover villains they love to hate, heroes they hate
to love. Horror, terror, these are emotions one will
find, one will feel. "Horror [is] rooted in sympathy,
after all, in understanding what it would be like to
suffer the worst."-Joe Hill: Heart-Shaped Box.

"It's only in the face of horror that you truly find your
noblest self."-The Angel Gabriel: Constantine. And
humans can be so noble when pushed to their
limits. What events could draw out the noblest of us
all? What series of events would make one
plummet over the brink of insanity, losing oneself in
its depths? The work here explores these
questions. It delves into the fabric of our humanity,
seeking to discover the nerve which makes us feel
most intensely.

If you enjoy character driven work, if you enjoy
disturbing stories that may, at times, induce a
physical reaction (if not, at least psychological), if
you enjoy staying up late, afraid to turn off the lights
for fear of what may be lurking in your
shadows-then you've come to the right place.

Playing in the Dark
Women Scorned:
After Camilla is murdered, an ancient spirit possesses her, to use her
body as its tool of vengeance. Tortured by visions of murdered
women, she is thrust into a world of terror as she seeks a way to rid
herself of the nightmare she has become.
Her dead flesh hungers however for a
substance that only exists on the breaths
of criminals. Their tortured souls fill her,
complete her, injecting her with more
energy than she ever possessed while living.
Like an addict, she is torn between ending
her suffering and tasting retribution.
A secret cult in need of her spirit, for an
ancient ritual, has sent their Chosen One
to capture her, a dark virgin who delights in
teaching unwilling victims the pleasures of
pain. The spirit inhabiting Camilla’s body is
their key to unlocking hell and unleashing
a horde of demons into the human realm.
Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned. Camilla learns this first hand
on her journey through death and back again. Revenge isn’t always
sweet and its bitterness lingers in the soul forever.

I reside in Gridley, California with my wonderful and
super supportive husband, my beautiful daughter,
and two happy dogs.

By day, I work as a Documents Administrator for a
Pension firm. By night, I work on my writing. I've been
writing ever since I can remember. It's always been a
dream of mine to do this professionally.

I'm at a time in my life where I can finally take the
steps to make this dream a reality.

I've had over 20 stories published in the last few
years, as can be seen on my Publications Page. I'm
very excited about my recent publications and invite
you to share them.

now is on novels, so my short story publications have been slowing
down. Check out what others think of my work on my Testimonials page.
