Author
I'm an aspiring author with a day job in IT. I often turn to writing to get my mind off of work and tech, allowing myself to drift away in a story. Something about coming up with a story that only exists in my head and putting it onto paper is an enjoyment I can't even explain.
I live with my wife, Morgan, and our tortoiseshell cat, Rayne. Morgan is one of my strongest motivators to keep writing—even when I don't feel like it or am stuck. She pushes me because she knows how much I love doing this, even when I want to quit because I hate the last 1,000-plus words I've just written.
Over the years, I've written many short stories, and last year I finished my first novel, which took two years to write. Even though that was a huge accomplishment, none of those felt ready to share—until now. Sickly Love has been years in the making, and I'm so excited to finally share it with you. This is a story I felt needed to be told, and I hope you enjoy reading it as much as I've enjoyed writing it.

A Psychological Thriller
Mock cover design
When Allison Hale becomes convinced her daughter is destined to inherit a devastating neurological disorder, she secretly turns to a remote neuroscience institute that claims it can "rewrite" emotional memory and prevent genetic decline. One night, she vanishes with her daughter.
Neil, blindsided and desperate, begins unraveling the truth she never told him—about her mother's illness, about a doctor she once trusted, and about a program that blurs the line between healing and erasure. As he hunts for the secluded facility hidden in the mountains, Allison discovers that the cure she was promised demands a horrifying price.
Sickly Love explores the boundary between devotion and obsession, the illusion of scientific salvation, and the dangerous belief that love alone can justify anything.
"I look at my hands, the tremor isn't getting better. I thought if I ignored it long enough it would go away on its own, but at this point it's gotten worse. I control it as much as I can, because I know Neil would panic if he saw how bad it gets."
