My Books

I write queer, character-driven fiction that blends emotional realism with psychological tension and, at times, supernatural or uncanny elements. My stories follow flawed, tender people navigating love, grief, fear, and desire—whether confronting a haunting that hits too close to home, a relationship pushed to its breaking point, or a truth that refuses to stay buried. Intimate and atmospheric, my work prioritizes character and emotional payoff over spectacle, embracing complexity, lived embodiment, and the freedom to inhabit identity and desire fully and honestly. The result is sharp, immersive storytelling that stays with you long after the final page.

I’m drawn to stories that feel intimate, tense, and emotionally immersive—stories where character matters more than spectacle, and where atmosphere, longing, and conflict carry real weight. Whether the premise is grounded or strange, I want the work to feel lived in, psychologically sharp, and capable of lingering long after the final page.

 

I write to make queer life feel intelligent, sensual, honest, and fully alive on the page.

Featured Book

The Quiet Season

In The Quiet Season, Ezra steps back into a space filled with the remnants of who he used to be. What begins as a quiet holiday spent house-sitting becomes something more unsettling as familiar routines, old emotions, and unexpected memories rise to the surface. In the stillness, Ezra finds himself confronting not only the life he left behind, but the part of himself he wasn’t sure survived.

 
It's always nice to find a read I can resonate with. Sometimes all we need is a reminder of what was, or how things used to be, to help bring us around to becoming not only ourselves again, but a much better version. Perfect for a short read on a snowy day 🤍

The Quiet Season

2025
While house-sitting for his ex over Christmas, Ezra is forced to confront the grief, history, and unfinished love waiting for him in the apartment they once called home.

Plot

Ezra has no plans for Christmas, which makes him the obvious choice when his ex, Alex, needs someone to watch his apartment and care for Miso, the cat they once shared. Returning to the space he used to know so intimately, Ezra finds himself surrounded by old routines, familiar objects, holiday decorations, and the quiet ache of a life that kept moving without him.

Over the course of 12 snowbound days, the apartment becomes less of a favor and more of a reckoning. As memories resurface and Alex’s presence lingers in every room, Ezra must decide what parts of the past are worth holding onto—and what he has to leave behind in order to come home to himself.

The Clemency Camps

2015
In a near-future America where queer people are imprisoned behind electrified fences, one man’s secret return to the outside world threatens to expose the fragile lies holding the system together.

Plot

Years after the creation of the Clemency Camps, Hosea has learned how to survive inside a world designed to erase him. The camp is brutal, but it is also home: a place of chosen family, grief, faith, and quiet resilience among people the country has tried to forget. But Hosea has a secret. He has found a way beyond the fence, slipping back into the town that abandoned him and into the church that helped justify his imprisonment. As his visits draw him closer to people on the outside, the line between survival and resistance begins to blur—and one dangerous connection could either open a path toward freedom or destroy the fragile safety his community has built.

The Powell House of Living Worship was meant to be a place of spiritual renewal: a secluded retreat house where students could grow closer to God, each other, and themselves. But from the moment the group arrives, strange sounds, unsettling visions, and impossible events suggest the house is not as holy as its purpose.

As the retreat unravels, fear spreads through the students and leaders, exposing secrets, insecurities, and fractures within the group. What begins as a week of devotion turns into a desperate struggle to understand what wants them there—and whether faith alone is enough to get them out.
