I met the Navajo composer Frank Stokes as a neighbor who'd come out for a block party where I was cooking chicken in front of my grandmother's home on Labor Day 1995. The one hour conversation that started our friendship led to my working for Mr. Stokes until his death in December of 2010. I asked Mr. Stokes for permission to begin writing about his life on June 15, 2001, hours before Mr. Stokes was to perform a 3 hour, 3 set gig of his original jazz compositions. Mr. Stokes had come to playing with world class jazz musicians in downtown Manhattan like no other musician I had ever known. Mr. Stokes began his career in the 1970's as a fire breathing bassist in CBGB's and Max's Kansas City, the legendary clubs that gave birth to the punk rock sound of the acts opening for Mr. Stokes as he played bass with the late Australian magician Geoffrey Crozier. My book is based on 24 hours of interviews with Mr. Stokes and a range of players from throughout his career, from the underground to those he played with at Carnegie Hall. Sadly, of those interviewed, Mr. Stokes, his wife and the late Klamath drummer Bleu Ocean are no longer with us. The book chronicles not only the musical lives of those involved but also explores the devastation wrought by the attacks of September 11, 2001, when Mr. Stokes had the debris of the fallen World Trade Center towers strike his home as a friend was killed on Flight 93 and the downtown Manhattan music scene where he made his living was changed forever. Any musician who reads this book will be better off for the experience. Throughout, the honesty and sincerity displayed by Mr. Stokes only deepens the sense of loos for those of us lucky enough to have known him.

It's the 1st in the trilogy 'Daughters of Darkness' (I'm currently working on book 2) The book cover is by 'Laura Gordon'
Here's the synopsis: Twenty three year old Kylar, has finally had enough of the demonic nightmares that have been plaguing him since childhood. Deciding to learn why some of them have turned so sexual, he seeks answers at a close friends occult bookstore where she reveals to him that he has been used by demons to father three girls while in a semi-state of sleeping. Soon after, he also learns that he has two estranged sisters that have incredible powers, and together they set out on a journey that takes them to literal Hell and back, in an effort to rescue his daughters.

It becomes further complicated when an ex-girlfriend, Sin-dy, that has never given up on the idea that one day they would be together again, also joins him as they face off several times with the demon Ophelexa and her sidekicks.
One of his daughters, a natural born warrior, fifteen year old Amber, becomes an integral part of the battle to take back home, not just her siblings, but millions of other teen-aged virgin girls held in a ‘Paradise’ in Hell, that are destined to be used in a fiendish plot to give birth to more demons and ultimately control all of Earths inhabitants.

I released my debut novella The Customer Is Always... in April.
It's a suspense/psychological thriller about Vincent, an ordinary 9-5 call centre consultant who's thrust into an extraordinary situation when he receives a sinister phone call from Mr Pierce.
Mr Pierce, initially routine and friendly, has an agenda, one that escalates into lunacy. That's when he shares a deadly secret, one that will change Vincent's life forever.
Reviews have been positive thus far, one even comparing me to Hitchcock, which was a very humbling moment in my fairly new writing career. If you like a short, tense thriller then this might be up your alley.

One mistake sends Ashlyn Ramos plummeting from popular naiveté and into the outskirts of the social order. She’s had a great life so far. So many things were going right! Now, she has a wrecked car, a parentally confiscated cell phone, and ex-friends making life miserable. Not the way she wanted to start the best year of her life. And walking to school was totally going to suck. Until she saw him on the sidewalk ahead of her.

Now, he’s settled in a small town and ready to make the most of senior year. However, his dad is borrowing his Jeep. Walking to school won’t suck too much, though. He could blast his iPod and think. What he didn’t count on was Ashlyn walking up beside him.
It is not love at first walk. Kiel’s heard the rumors about her. And Ashlyn can’t make herself heard over his blaring iPod. They’re both facing demons, but they learn it’s better to face them together.

An eerie quote from Edgar Alan Poe and a friend’s bloody shirt push Tamsen’s writer’s curiosity into over-drive.
Aided by her friends and armed with sugar and caffeine, Tamsen plunges into the murder investigation. When she discovers a long forgotten crime her curiosity leads her to a connection between two chilling murders and the ties they have to her own circle of friends. When everyone has something to hide and someone to protect Tamsen wonders who among her friends she can really trust.
