I do not write the fluffy frilly magic stuff because I have seen the real thing. I practiced magic from a child until I got clean and sober many years ago. I have written as a hobby all my life and have honestly been sitting behind a computer screen since 1976. As a former practicer I now channel that raw real world experience of magic and the occult into my works to produce a heavy Lovecraftian style experience of horror, dread, or warning to my readers.
I am finally opening the vault on a lifetime of dark insights offering readers a window into the dark world where real magic has real consequences and the shadows have teeth. My leaning toward historical events and true archeology comes from the fact I have a Masters Degree in Anthropology specializing in Archeology.
