For a split second, the face staring back at me from the rear-view mirror looked a lot like my father.
The forces of darkness appeared intent on me embracing my father’s mantle and using my inherited wealth to build an earthbound army of evil. But they would have to try a lot harder. Every battle made me more devoted to my life’s calling.
I didn’t know what the future held. But I was more certain than ever about the role I needed to play, moving forward. I would fight the horrors from beyond the void until my dying breath.
Drawing reassurance from this thought, I floored the gas and allowed the Monastery of the Savior to be swallowed up by the unforgiving desert.

Who am I and what to read next?
Hi guys, I hope you had fun reading the story you just finished. I figured this might be a good time to tell you a little about the man behind the words.
I’ve been at this writing game for a while and started in screenwriting in Hollywood. Well, technically I started in high school, publishing little story pamphlets, but let’s not go there. I had an eight-year run in the film industry working on such projects as Anaconda 2 and Return to House on Haunted Hill. During this time, I sold a bunch of projects, most which never saw the light of day. Pretty frustrating for a creative, even when the check clears.
Perhaps that’s why I turned to books. As a creator of stories, it’s important for me to get them out into the world. And that brings me to all my current book projects. As you might have noticed, I have many series out there, so it might be a bit challenging to figure out which one to pick up next.
All my Urban Fantasy features horror elements. None of these series feature a talking cat or demon bartenders. The tone is more Constantine/Hellblazer/Supernatural than Dresden Files. You could call it Urban Fantasy Horror (UFH) or Dark Urban Fantasy. I like the stakes to be high and the paranormal elements to be genuinely scary. Shadow Detective and Night Slayer are my series with the strongest Urban Fantasy flavor.
The Shadow Detective Series:
A young man’s parents are murdered by demons and he devotes his life to becoming a monster hunter who helps the authorities solve supernatural crimes.
This is my longest series to date and probably the most fun. For fans of Dresden Files, Constantine, Supernatural, and the Demon Accords. There is more magic in this series, wielded by both the good guys and the bad ones, with a darker edge than many UF series out right now. The supernatural villains are dangerous and scary, and the humor comes from the banter between the leads. The series features plenty of action, snark, shocking twists, and moments of horror. This series will continue as Shadow Cop in 2021, so best to catch up now.
The Occult Assassin Series:
After a soldier’s fiancée is slain by a murderous cult, a professional soldier dedicates himself to a new mission–hunting down twisted occultists around the globe.
This was my first series and, in some ways, the most grounded. Imagine a Punisher film directed by Wes Craven with a touch of James Bond. It blends the military thriller formula with horror elements into a hard-hitting ride. There’s less magic in this world and a stronger horror component. Like all my series, it features strong heroes and chilling villains. Good triumphs over evil—but not without a price. It should appeal to readers who enjoy horror and military action, folks who read Joe Ledger, Stephen Leather’s Nightingale or Repairman Jack. Fans of Night Slayer and Hexecutioner will dig this one due to its ex-military vigilante hero.
The Hexecutioner Series
In the real world, he is Special Agent Jaxon Weylock, FBI profiler of human monsters. But in the shadow world where supernatural beasts prey on the innocent, he is the Hexecutioner, punisher of otherworldly evil.
If you like The Witcher, The Crow, or Constantine but want a quick read you can enjoy in one sitting, consider checking out the Hexecutioner. The series consists of short novellas that feature diabolical villains who receive their dark magic comeuppance once the Hexecutioner finishes with them. This is pure dark fantasy horror and should appeal to fans of all my other series, but especially The Paranormalist, Night Slayer and Occult Assassin.
Monster Heroes: (now a Boxed Set):
My standalone or limited series featuring monsters who fight on the side of the good guys. These consist of Fear the Light (vampires solving the murder of the undead master who also happens to be Dracula), Panther Curse (a were-panther action adventure) and Gargoyle Knight (think a cursed Highlander ends up coming back to life in modern times).
These are mostly fast-paced, Dark Urban Fantasy, with Fear the Light having a strong murder mystery vibe. If you want to get a taste of my work, grab the boxed set!
