Crown Quest: An Alexandria Chase Adventure
Genre: Fiction
A single photo changed everything.
When her secret mission for the Argus Institute went terribly wrong, Alex was ready to walk away from the Artifact Recovery Team until her uncle handed her an envelope filled with her father's riddles and an ominous hand-written warning:
“Make sure no one else finds this crown. There might be more to it than meets the eye. - (II.i.12-18) F.C.”
Despite the risks, Alex can't ignore an opportunity to solve her father's puzzle.
Now she must chase clues across Europe through ancient sites and modern museums all while avoiding a charming blast from the past and questioning who she can truly trust. Every discovery she finds leads to darker truths, and a suspicion that someone more sinister is hot on the same trail.
Armed with stubborn grit, humor, and a strange collection of notes, Alex must decide if protecting the past and finishing her father's work is worth risking her future…
All for a crown that may change the one who wears it.

I’m always working on the next project…
GENRE: Fiction Fantasy
The next big project is always in the back of my mind. I am currently deciding between two different fantasy projects.
The first is a YA fantasy that I drafted for my Master’s Degree back in 2020. I might go back and rework that. It’s about a young girl who lives in a world where magic suddenly disappeared, and her mysterious birth might have been part of the cause…
The second is an urban fantasy that I started a year ago. It is mostly outlined and partially started. This one is about a young man who stumbles upon an odd necklace at an estate sale. When he takes it home, strange things start to happen and strange men show up at his door to take the necklace into custody…
I also have a thick pile of ideas and short stories that I’ve written over the years. Know that I always have something I am working on.
