The Moment it Became Real
For a long time, The Night Chronicles lived entirely in my head—and in the stacks of world-building workbooks and character guides scattered across my desk. Between grading papers and the quiet routines of life here in Colorado, I was secretly mapping out a seven-book saga.
The moment it became "real" wasn't when I finished the first draft; it was when I held the first physical proof of Claimed by Night in my hands. Seeing the Mitchell family’s story—Elizabeth’s struggle and the looming mystery of the Coven—bound in a real cover made the years of outlining finally click. This isn’t just a book; it’s the beginning of a massive journey, and I’m currently deep in the trenches of Book 5 to keep that momentum going!
Why "Fantasy with a Horror Twist"?
People often ask me what to expect when they open the first book. I like to describe my style as high fantasy with the heart of a thriller.
You’ll find the magic you love—ancient lineages like the Sunstone Coven, hidden realms like Lunaria, and epic world-building—but it’s served with a side of atmospheric dread. Think of it as the wonder of a new world meeting the "don't look behind you" tension of a horror movie. Whether it’s the predatory chill of a Silence Hound or the political lethality of the Shadow Accord, I want my readers to feel the magic and the stakes.
Step Into the Night
The gates to Lunaria are officially open. You can start the journey today with the first installment of the series. Whether you prefer the glow of a digital screen or the weight of a physical book on your shelf, Claimed by Night is ready for you.
