I'm a dark fantasy romance author, lifelong storyteller, and Dungeon Master who accidentally turned a Dungeons & Dragons campaign with friends into a series of novels.

Runesong grew from nearly a decade of worldbuilding, unforgettable player characters, and entirely too many notebooks filled with lore. Set in the world of Orlithia, it blends dark fantasy, romance, and cosmic horror with folklore inspired by my upbringing in the American South and stories passed down through my wife's Nordic heritage. Those influences, combined with Jungian concepts of the collective unconscious, and the old "as above, so below" mirror that connects the soul, the world, and the unknown have shaped the story of my first novel.

Most of the artwork featured throughout Runesong was created by my longtime friend, talented artist, and fellow adventurer, Casie Starr (@casiedraws). She created the artwork you see here, depicting the original D&D party that first adventured through the world of Runesong.

When I'm not working on this series, I'm usually writing at my day job as a Communications Coordinator, running tabletop games with my friends, or finding new ways to emotionally devastate both my readers and my players.
