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.
