MY BOOKS
I currently have four dystopian thrillers available, The Cull, The Gleaning, The Facade, and The Resurgence all of which are available in paperback and for Kindle. They are part of what might be a continuing series. I hope to continue writing this story from different viewpoints of new characters. These are pandemic stories, the first two written about three years before COVID-19 appeared on the scene.
In addition to these books, I have a young adult novel called Alukah that addresses vampirism in a way that breaks free from the tired "teen falls in love with a vampire" and the equally boring "a vampire must bite you to be a vampire" tropes. Katy Kills is also a novel for young adults about a teenage gorecore artist who finds herself embroiled in a string of murders that closely match her art. I also have a collection of short stories called Wonderful Wendy and Other Tales.
I have a few other books that I am preparing to release including an urban fantasy called Tanis and Thera, a speculative fiction called Mirror Me, and a general fiction called Chisme. All of these are young adult novels. My most recent novel is an adult psychological thriller called My Husband. With luck and a little elbow grease, these novels should all be released within the next year or two.
The Cull
ISBN-978-1701201675
The world is thrown into a frenzy when an experimental virus is accidentally released. Highly contagious, its victims suffer a fate worse than death. Bodies ravaged by fever, their numbers increase at a startling rate as they mindlessly roam the streets infecting all with whom they come into contact until their inevitable and swift deaths.
Frankie, a businesswoman with a young family, and Henry, a bachelor well on his way to becoming a grumpy old man, find themselves caught in the fallout. Terror the new way of life, each struggle to survive as society crumbles around them. Hundreds of miles away from one another, they find themselves on a journey to Los Alamos, New Mexico with hopes of finding a cure that, unbeknownst to them, resides within their veins.
The Gleaning
ISBN-979-8653342066
It’s been less than a month since the most catastrophic pandemic in recorded history decimated the world's population. Survivors are beginning to pick up the pieces of their lives while navigating their horrific new world. The infected are still roaming the streets, ripping apart those unlucky enough to cross their paths, but something has changed. They are not dying as quickly as they had when the virus was first released.
In an Us versus Them world, survivors swiftly learn that it is not the infected or even the virus they should fear the most, but those most like themselves. Tess and Henry have picked up a passenger with a dangerous secret while, less than a mile away, Bunmi resolves to do all she can to create a vaccine.
The Facade
ISBN-979-8770854251
A year has passed since an engineered super virus was released, wiping out the majority of the world's population. Those left behind know they are not yet in the clear. The spread of the virus has slowed, but danger still looms around every corner. Survivors have settled into their new lives with the understanding that people are even more deadly than the virus.
Henry and Tess find themselves traveling with more family than either has ever had. When several members of their group go missing, they realize that the only way to get them back is to take on the very same society that abducted and tried to kill survivors in New Mexico a year before. It's an impossible mission until an unwelcome blast from the past offers to help.
For Prophet, the biggest threat is to her sense of self. The world was only beginning to accept people like her when society collapsed. Now, she and her only friend Justice must find a way to not only stay alive, but maintain Prophet's very identity. If they do not find a solution fast, she might face a fate that, to her, is worse than death itself.
The Resurgence
ISBN-979-8252926988
The virus nearly ended everything. Now, it’s fading, and humanity is finally beginning to breathe again. But survival came at a cost, and the truth is far worse than anyone imagined.
Hidden in the ruins of the old world lies a third strain—deadlier, faster, and terrifyingly precise. Unlike the first outbreak, this one isn’t out of control. It’s in their hands.
A small group of survivors holds the power and must decide if they should release it or destroy it forever. Unleashing it could mean the end for so many who made it this far. It might also be the only way to save what’s left of humanity.
In a world already broken, they face an impossible choice: Who deserves to live…and who decides?
Alukah
ISBN-979-8838298898
Tsillah and her twin brother Samael learn that vampirism is closer to home than they could ever have expected. It is a hereditary condition complete with medical symptoms that are often explained away by doctors as something mundane rather than what they really indicate. What the twins have inherited is something that has been passed from mother to daughter for generations, typically sparing male progeny. However, in the case of twins, any males who receive this genetic mutation do so with results even more disastrous than experienced by their female siblings.
Tsillah and Samael are struck by the realization that their bodies are changing in ways their peers could never imagine while struggling with the absence of their mother who, having disappeared when they were infants, might have been able to prepare them for the horror that is to come. Instead, they must face their fate head on and alone. If they do not move fast, they risk losing their humanity to their very real demon sides.
Katy Kills
ISBN-979-8878034777
Her gorecore makeup skills are winning her a lot of followers, as well as helping her make friends at her new school. Unfortunately, they also seem to have attracted the attention of a serial killer using her artwork to do some very real killing of his own.
Katy and her best friend Morrie struggle to prove her innocence in the face of a string of damning murders. The truth, she soon learns, is closer to home than she ever could have imagined.
