A secret cult in need of her spirit, for an ancient ritual, has sent their Chosen One to capture her, a dark virgin who delights in teaching unwilling victims the pleasures of pain. The spirit inhabiting Camilla’s body is their key to unlocking hell and unleashing a horde of demons into the human realm. Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned. Camilla learns this first hand on her journey through death and back again. Revenge isn’t always sweet and its bitterness lingers in the soul forever. |


Dark Speculative Fiction is fun, a safe adrenaline rush, a way to experience certain emotions one wouldn't normally be able to experience in a controlled environment. Some call it horror. But others would argue that horror is not a genre, rather, it is an emotion which can be found in various genres. Readers won't find romance here. Nor light-hearted girls skipping through flowers. Readers will find dark humor, the macabre, the sinister. Readers will discover villains they love to hate, heroes they hate to love. Horror, terror, these are emotions one will find, one will feel. "Horror [is] rooted in sympathy, after all, in understanding what it would be like to suffer the worst."-Joe Hill: Heart-Shaped Box. "It's only in the face of horror that you truly find your noblest self."-The Angel Gabriel: Constantine. And humans can be so noble when pushed to their limits. What events could draw out the noblest of us all? What series of events would make one plummet over the brink of insanity, losing oneself in its depths? The work here explores these questions. It delves into the fabric of our humanity, seeking to discover the nerve which makes us feel most intensely. If you enjoy character driven work, if you enjoy disturbing stories that may, at times, induce a physical reaction (if not, at least psychological), if you enjoy staying up late, afraid to turn off the lights for fear of what may be lurking in your shadows-then you've come to the right place. Check out the publications page for a list of my published work. Read my excerpt and let me know what you think. I enjoy honesty, so please, be honest. Take a gander at My Mad Ravings in the More tab. And, for more incredible work from some very talented writers, and for some sites that will give you more of what you crave, check out my Friends and Links tab. |

Sanitarium: Removed from the general public, high in the outskirts of the city of Corners, Oregon, The Sanitarium houses the criminally insane. Something sinister beats at the heart of Sanitarium. Something seeping through the walls. If the inmates weren't crazy before they were committed, they are now. Sanitarium explores the depths of human emotion, the intensity of insanity, and blurs the lines between real and imagined threats. The characters are haunted by themselves as much as the spirits around them. |

I am a writer of the macabre and an active member of the Horror Writers Association and International Thriller Writers. I reside in Northern California with my husband who has supported my ambitions and has encouraged me every step of the way, my daughter who makes me smile all the time, and my two hyper dogs who like to rest their heads on the keyboard when I sit to write. I am the author of Sanitarium and Women Scorned. There are many other novels locked in my brain that I permit to see the sun, but only one at a time. |
