I write speculative fiction, which encompasses, sci-fi, supernatural, horror, paranormal, basically anything that doesn't fit into the romance, crime or literary categories. I like to write what I like to write. However, lately I am finding that the lines are blurring, especially since I am releasing a middle-grade fiction book about cats and dogs. I also want to write horror fairy tales and dark vampire stories.

So I have decided to create a pseudonym for my supernatural thrillers and horror line of books for a few reasons:
