Welcome Back
Over the past several months, I’ve been deep in the trenches working on new stories, revising upcoming releases, and expanding several worlds that readers have already connected with.
This newsletter is where I’ll be sharing:
current book promotions
upcoming releases
behind-the-scenes updates
future projects
exclusive previews and announcements
If you’re new here, welcome. And if you’ve been reading my work for a while now, thank you for continuing this journey with me.
Available Books
Standalone Novels
The Eli Creed books continue to grow into one of my favorite worlds to write in — gritty western storytelling built around survival, redemption, violence, loyalty, and the cost of carrying a reputation across a dangerous frontier.

Free Promotions
Several titles will be running limited-time free promotions and discounted pricing over the coming weeks.
If you’ve had books sitting on your reading list, this is the perfect time to jump in.
These promotions help introduce new readers to the stories and help independent work continue to grow through word of mouth, reviews, and recommendations.
If you enjoy the books, reviews make an enormous difference and help more readers discover the stories.
Upcoming Releases
There are several projects currently moving toward release, including:
new western stories
darker Southern noir projects
interconnected novels
expanded character universes
audiobook development
Some of these upcoming books push deeper into atmosphere, tension, and emotional storytelling than anything I’ve written previously.
Subscribers here will hear about release dates, cover reveals, ARC opportunities, and launch announcements before they go public elsewhere.
Current Projects in Progress
Right now, the writing desk is crowded with outlines, revisions, and new drafts.
Current focus areas include:
expanding the Eli Creed universe
continuing work on the Walker Davis westerns
developing darker noir-inspired fiction
refining audiobook narration and production
preparing future serialized and interconnected stories
A lot of work is happening behind the scenes right now, and I’m excited to finally start sharing more of it soon.
Thank You
Independent storytelling only survives because readers continue showing up for it.
Every read, review, recommendation, and newsletter share genuinely helps keep these stories alive.
Thank you for being here.
