If you are reading this it is because you are one of the fortunate few to have stumbled upon my new blog.
The truth is, I have been writing almost my entire life. Unfortunately, I am what most people call an “introvert”. On top of being a hermit most of the time, I am also painfully shy about putting my writing in front of other adults. Because of these two wonderful sides of my personality, I have a collection of books that are finished but not shared, or have been shared but not “promoted”, as they say.
But, the sad fact is that time is catching up to me and if anyone is ever going to read something I write, I better stop hiding it and start shoving my words in people’s faces.
So what have I actually written? Well, most of my writing is actually on Teachers Pay Teachers, where I write stuff for other teachers to use in their classes. Some of my favorite short stories are on there, including “Night of the Volcano“, “Hunted“, “The Empty School“, and “The Bed Shadow“.
I also have three books that are currently available on Amazon that are part of my “Hope Elementary Series”, which follows the adventures of a group of kids dealing with paranormal happenings in and around their new elementary school. You might be thinking “oh great, another Stranger Things ripoff”, but its more of an “X-Files for Kids” sort of thing.
The first is “The Lights in the Woods“, which is pretty short if we are being honest here. I wrote this as a way to introduce the series and to finally get myself to have SOMETHING out there for the world to read.
The second is “The Endless School“. If you or your kids like “the backrooms” sort of stuff, then you will like this book. It’s the type of book I would have loved as a twelve year old, and it follows our two main characters, Vincent and Valentine Carter, as they find themselves trapped in a school that literally never ends, where each room is from a different place and time, and where they may or may not be alone.
The third book in the series, “The House on Willow Street” is where I really hit my stride with this setting and these kids. It’s a classic (more or less) haunted house story with some themes about loss and the things we never tell the people around us. I like the other two books, but this is the first one of this series that I can say that I am “proud” of.
Anyway, I hope you stop by from time to time. Please visit my YouTube channel also!
