The forest is calling… and it remembers your name.

This September, return to Shadowood before the nightmare began. Before the Shadows will pull you into a psychological thriller where the past is never truly gone and the forest takes what it’s owed.

Dare to enter Shadowood Forest?

An warning from my upcoming novel, Before the Shadows:

In Shadowood, beneath the moon’s cold eye, walks a woman betrayed, whose tears ran dry.
A forest hunger, roots deep and black,
those who enter never find their way back.

Bound in bone, an amulet’s flame,
a curse unbroken, a whispered name.
She searches nightly, through fog and gloom,
for thieves who sealed her living tomb.

Riley Harper returns to Shadowood Forest seeking clarity-but something ancient awaits. As reality unravels, he must face a predator from myth or the darkness within his own mind. The Shadows Within is a tense, psychological horror.

It’s been a few weeks since The Shadows Within was released, and I’m so grateful to everyone who has picked up a copy, reached out with your thoughts, or shared it with a friend. Seriously, thank you.

If you haven’t read it yet, now is the perfect time. It’s a psychological thriller with supernatural undertones, unsettling tension, and q***r characters who feel a little too real. The story blurs the line between grief, guilt, and something much darker.

You can find it wherever books are sold. And if you’ve already finished it, I’d love to hear what you think. Leaving a review helps more than you might realize.

Hey, just a reminder that I wrote a book. It’s called The Shadows Within. It’s weird, a little dark, and kind of personal in ways I didn’t expect.

If you’ve been meaning to grab a copy, now’s a great time. And if you already did, thank you. Seriously.

“Before the Shadows,” my next novel.
Coming late-Summer 2025.

Deep in Shadowood's embrace,
Where light and dark exchange their place,
A serpent waits with emerald eyes,
To bind a soul and claim its prize.

Seven years, seven tears,
Seven souls to feed her fears.
One to wear the keeper's chain,
One to bear the watcher's pain.

When green stone burns against your skin,
The hunt is set, the game begins.
Never wander, never roam,
When shadows call you from your home.

Even more Shadows to come!
