The Person Behind the Legend

My Connection to the Woods

 "I’ve always believed that some stories aren't written—they’re unearthed." 


 Several years ago, I moved to the heart of the Redwoods and immediately fell under their spell. 

There is a weight to the air here—an ancient, living presence that you can’t ignore once you step off the trail. As I spent countless hours hiking deep into the emerald shadows of these forests, I began to feel that the trees weren't just standing there; they were guarding stories that had been whispered for centuries. It was during those solitary treks through the fog and the giants that Secrets Beneath the Canopy was born—inspired by the very real sense that in a forest this vast, we are never truly alone.

The Mystery and the Myth

 I’ve spent years fascinated by the 'missing pieces' of our world—the legends that walk the line between folklore and reality. To some, Bigfoot is a campfire story; to me, he represents the vast, untamed mysteries of the Pacific Northwest that we have yet to map. I write supernatural thrillers for those who look into the dark tree line and wonder: What if the myths are right?" 

The Mission

 My goal as an author is to take you where the GPS signal fails. I combine high-stakes suspense with the eerie beauty of the natural world to create stories that keep you looking over your shoulder long after you’ve turned the final page.
