Writing stories that unsettle, question, and reveal something hidden...
I write gothic fiction because I am drawn to the tension between light and darkness, between what we believe and what we fear. A thread of the uncanny inevitably runs through my work.
My stories blend romance, mystery, horror and adventure into immersive, richly atmospheric worlds. Beneath the surface, certain obsessions keep returning: innocence tested by darkness, identity pushed to its breaking point, the supernatural as a moral crucible, justice and the price of retribution, and the uncanny power of enclosed and isolated spaces.
I am drawn to characters who are trapped, questioned, and transformed — and to the moment when they must decide who they truly are and what they are willing to sacrifice.
My picture books offer a different kind of magic, a space of wonder and tenderness that keeps me creatively and emotionally grounded.

In a Baltimore tavern, astrophysicist Gabriel Diaz meets Kamilah—beautiful, elusive, and quietly unsettling. Drawn to her, he follows her to her family’s remote cabin in the mountains of Rize, Turkey, where mist, silence, and shadow begin to erode the boundaries of the real.
As desire turns to unease and dreams of his sister’s unborn child grow increasingly disturbing, Gabriel is drawn into a quiet but relentless moral struggle—where seduction, conscience, and the uncanny intertwine.
