My New Substack

I Started a Substack. Here’s Why.

For years, I’ve been writing stories in the margins—between deadlines, after the day job, in those stolen hours when the rest of the world goes quiet. Now I’m building something new: a place where those stories break free from the page and come alive.

Welcome to Stories Unbound.

Three Worlds. Infinite Adventures.

The Chronicles of Asterwelt is epic fantasy on a grand scale—a world where dragons return every 500 years to defend against existential threats, following diverse characters across elves, dwarves, druids, and human houses as they navigate twelve centuries of magic, war, and cosmic upheaval during the dangerous Lunarian Cycles. This is the sprawling saga, the deep mythology, the kind of worldbuilding you can get lost in.

Daughter of Dragons is a prequel set 500 years before the first book in the Chronicles, but it tells a more intimate story. Former dragon rider Althea has spent nine years searching for a lost artifact that might save her dying world. When visions finally reveal its location atop a treacherous mountain, she must bring her eight-year-old daughter on a quest that will demand the ultimate sacrifice. Where Asterwelt gives you the epic sweep, Daughter of Dragons gives you a mother’s heart—and the origins of everything that follows.

In The Lucksmiths, rookie angel Tobin works in the Department of Luck, Misfortune, and Other Calamities, where karma is collected and distributed through a vast cosmic bureaucracy. When he discovers an allocation error that’s been undermining Maya Sanchez’s life, he has to navigate celestial politics and bureaucratic inefficiency to fix it—before his own angelic career goes up in flames. It’s part workplace comedy, part existential fable, and entirely about the question we’ve all asked at least once: what if the universe really did lose my paperwork?

In the Lara Kingsley series, an ex-Army Special Forces officer turned private investigator navigates deadly conspiracies in Washington D.C.’s corridors of power. With her exceptional analytical mind and combat skills, Lara unravels mysteries that intertwine personal vendettas, corporate espionage, and cutting-edge technology—all while carrying the weight of a controversial family legacy she’s only beginning to understand.

Why Audio

Because some stories deserve to be heard. Because the best adventures can happen while you’re on the move. And because I believe that when you press play, something magic happens—the words stop being ink on a page and start living in your imagination.
