I have videos. Lots and lots of videos 🎬

Tired of corporate fiction that seems like the same book you read ten times already? Are you interested in learning about an indie author who colors outside the lines? 

I have over 200 videos about my writing and books. Each video is usually under 5 minutes long, and many explain what you'll find in my books, why I write these specific stories, and why you might be interested. I also cover many writing questions that people have asked me over the years, never claiming to be an expert on anything, I attempt to tackle them to the best of my ability.

My original channel was on YouTube. You can click HERE to see all the videos.

I later added everything to Rumble. You can click HERE to see all the videos.

If you find value in these videos and wish to keep up to date, I'd love for you to subscribe to my channel. If you enjoy what you watch, please leave a comment or 'like' the video. This helps to boost my attention on the channel and as you can see, I have a limited audience so I can use all the help I can get. 😬

Thanks so much!

My vampire books - The Rock Star of Vampires and Her Name is Mariah

Before I started my Hernandez series, I dabbled in the world of vampires. The result of which, was two books that coincide with each other. Learn about them here and jump on Amazon to read a FREE sample. 


The Rock Star of Vampires 

Did Hollywood get it wrong?


A year after transforming into a mortal vampire, Ava Lilith continues to have a lackluster life. The new dietary requirements and the intensifying of her senses aside she continues to face unhappiness rather than the glamorous and provocative lifestyle that television and movies would suggest.


She then learns of an underground society of immortal vampires, led by the mysterious rock star of vampires. Cloaked in shadow, this Immortal sect controls the major powers of the world - from business and finance to science and politics - all manipulated for personal gain and to keep their existence concealed.


Ava finds herself drawn to this secret world where she can live forever and pursue all her dreams. But what will she lose, to gain immortality?



Her Name is Mariah


Mariah Nichols was adaptable. She lived through her parent's bitter divorce, a childhood of neglect, and the discovery that her only sibling was transgender so, the concept of turning into a mortal vampire was just one more adjustment in an already chaotic life.

But when tragedy rips through Mariah's heart, she realizes what it takes to survive in the world. She must become like an animal and run on instincts, not emotions.

or so she thought.

Her name is Mariah, and this is her story.

My first two books - Fire and A Spark Before the Fire

Back in 2010, I published my first book. I remember being terrified because publishing was a whole new experience for me. I've since built my confidence in writing and the industry in general, but it took a long time. I eventually wrote the follow-up to this book, which followed another character from the original, with the two books meeting. Click on the link and read a FREE sample. 

Fire

First, there was a match.

In 1992, Tarah Kiersey wasn't feeling very optimistic about her life. From dead-end jobs to dead-end relationships, she failed to see how anything could ever improve. But at least, she had her music.

Then, there was a spark.

There was something about holding a microphone that made Tarah feel alive. And there was something about how she sang that made people listen. One of those people included William Stacy, a young musician who invited Tarah to join his band, Fire. She said yes and her entire life changed overnight.

And now there's FIRE!





A Spark Before the Fire



Jimmy Groome never really believed that his life was worth anything. An overweight and unpopular teen, it takes a suicide attempt to bring a traumatic childhood experience into sharp focus. With some encouragement from family and a counselor, Jimmy picks up a guitar and it quickly becomes obvious that he has a natural talent. After losing weight and joining a band, Jimmy goes from being a shy and insecure child to an outgoing and self-destructive young adult. In a world where sex, drugs, and rock n' roll go hand in hand Jimmy’s future is uncertain.

In this prequel to Fire, we follow Jimmy Groome on his dark path, where he decides if he'll ignite the fire inside - or if he’ll let it burn out and fade away.
