Publishing books is the goal. I’m starting independently to see where this journey takes me; one story at a time. My first book, a novella titled Where’s Ronald?, is available now. It’s a fictional spin on a real-life event from my hometown of Estherville, Iowa, where someone stole the Ronald McDonald statue and kicked off a small-town mystery.
My second book, The Unseen Fall, is also out. It's a darker, moodier story released through Layla Cat Publishing.
More books are already in progress, including a new series currently in development.

Cover art for The Unseen Fall
When Megan Hart is found dead in her own home after a late-night fall, her husband Daniel becomes the center of a case built on shadows, assumptions, and a detective's unshakable certainty.
In a Minneapolis courtroom, the prosecution paints him as a man pushed to the edge. The defense insists it was a tragic accident. And Daniel — grieving, fractured, and unable to remember every moment of that night — becomes the unreliable narrator of his own life.
As the trial unfolds, loyalties fracture, doubt spreads, and the truth slips further out of reach.
Taut, emotional, and relentlessly gripping, The Unseen Fall pulls readers into a world where memory falters, justice wavers, and the line between guilt and innocence is razor-thin.
AVAILABLE NOW! Purchase the hardcover, paperback, or eBook from Amazon. You can also purchase the paperback from Barnes & Noble and Walmart. Get the first three chapters delivered to your email in a PDF free for signing up to my newsletter.
In the quiet town of Estherville, Iowa, four friends make one very bad decision: they steal a Ronald McDonald statue. What starts as a harmless prank spirals into full‑blown small‑town chaos involving a missing clown, a furious McDonald’s manager, a conspiracy‑obsessed teen journalist, and a river that refuses to keep secrets. As rumors spread and tensions rise, the boys scramble to fix their mistake. A hilarious, heartfelt tale of friendship, mystery, and the most infamous clownnapping Iowa has ever seen.
