Raging Light
Safety is within their reach--but at what cost?
Amelia fled to the Sanctuary, desperate for the cure to the Hydra virus. She finds safety in the walled enclave, and the promise of a luxurious life she thought she’d lost forever. She can have it all—if she’s willing to betray the people she loves.
Offered the vengeance he’s always longed for, Gabriel faces his own terrible crucible. He can attack the Sanctuary, bring down the elites, and save the cure—but doing so will turn him into the man he swore he’d never become again…
On the brink of war, the survivors must choose—escape with their lives, or stay and fight for the hope of something better, risking everything that matters in the process.

I spend my days writing apocalyptic and dystopian fiction novels. Because what's more fun than imagining the end of the world from the comfort of your couch?
I love writing stories exploring how ordinary people cope with extraordinary circumstances, especially situations where the normal comforts, conveniences, and rules are stripped away.
My favorite stories to read and write deal with characters struggling with inner demons who learn to face and overcome their fears, launching their transformation into the strong, brave warrior they were meant to become.
Some of my favorite books include The Road, The Passage, Hunger Games, and Ready Player One. My favorite movies are The Lord of the Rings and Gladiator. Give me a good story in any form, and I'm happy.
Oh, and add in a cool fall evening in front of a crackling fire, a book in one hand and a hot mocha latte in the other (or dark chocolate!): that's my heaven.
When I'm not writing, you can find me practicing at the range with my Springfield XDS or shopping for cool new gear for my bugout bag. You may find me hiking to a waterfall in the Smokies, traveling to far-flung locations, or jumping out of a plane (parachute included).
