Born in Norwalk Connecticut, started my career in Los Angeles. Hid out in the mountains for a while, now I'm setting down roots by the beach.

Telling stories is what I do to be happy and help make sense of the world.

I hope you have as much fun reading my books as I do writing them.

Thank you so much for reading Merciless King of Moore High, and for this question.

MKMH was always plotted as a series. Due to fluctuations in the publisher's structure, however, the first book will have to meet a certain sales threshold for that series to continue.

Like all authors, I do everything I can to promote. I do giveaways on tiktok, promote it on podcasts, and I have a video game coming out shortly that I've poured all my promotional resources into, which I hope will move the needle in our favor. The publisher has also been really great about book tours and promoting it to bloggers and even doing a cover reveal, which I did not have with the TKC series.

But it's hard to promote any book, let alone one that starts off from a pretty complicated premise, as a virtually unknown author. And the threshold is high, and the time to meet it is short. So please tell your friends to check it out!(less)

Hello!!! Thank you for this question & for loving the book.
There IS a sequel, it will be out 8/9/22, and it's called...

TEEN KILLERS IN LOVE!
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/5...

It's available on Netgalley now & starting to rack up reviews!

& In very exciting news it is getting a third an final book.

I sold the second book as "Teen Killers 2 Hide + Seek" but as a book moves along the publishing journey lots of things change and one of those things is usually the title. I am always in favor of a shorter title & this one is very to the point.

Thanks for asking a question & I hope you add TKIL to your TBR pile :D

MERCILESS KING WINS

The Merciless King of Moore High has been awarded the Gold medal for YA by the Moonbeam Awards & a blue ribbon by the Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books.

It means a lot to have this extremely wild story, about every adult morphing into a corpse-dragon and the surviving kids turning their schools into castles with competing Kings and Queens, recognized and validated.

It's been an uphill str Read more of this blog post »

Jane Eyre by Charlotte Brontë
“I can live alone, if self-respect, and circumstances require me so to do. I need not sell my soul to buy bliss. I have an inward treasure born with me, which can keep me alive if all extraneous delights should be withheld, or offered only at a price I cannot afford to give.”
Charlotte Brontë

“In this world
We walk on the roof of hell
Gazing at flowers”
Kobayashi Issa

“What can we ever gain in forever looking back and blaming ourselves if our lives have not turned out quite as we might have wished? The hard reality is, surely, that for the likes of you and I, there is little choice other than to leave our fate, ultimately, in the hands of those great gentlemen at the hub of this world who employ our services. What is the point in worrying oneself too much about what one could or could not have done to control the course one’s life took? Surely it is enough that the likes of you and I at least try to make our small contribution count for something true and worthy. And if some of us are prepared to sacrifice much in life in order to pursue such aspirations, surely that is in itself, whatever the outcome, cause for pride and contentment.”
Kazuo Ishiguro, The Remains of the Day

“I can live alone, if self-respect, and circumstances require me so to do. I need not sell my soul to buy bliss. I have an inward treasure born with me, which can keep me alive if all extraneous delights should be withheld, or offered only at a price I cannot afford to give.”
