The Stay Out of the Attic trilogy
The Stay Out of the Attic trilogy is a middle-grade suspense series about curiosity, secrets, and the choices that come with growing up.
When twelve-year-old Doug breaks a simple rule and enters a forbidden attic, he uncovers a hidden world filled with unsettling mysteries, strange alliances, and dangers that don’t stay locked away.
What begins as a single frightening discovery slowly grows into something much bigger, testing Doug’s courage, loyalty, and judgment as the consequences of that first choice ripple outward.
Creepy but age-appropriate, the trilogy blends mystery, eerie moments, and emotional stakes, following Doug from discovery, to consequence, to the final decision that will define who he becomes.
Perfect for readers who enjoy spooky stories that build tension without crossing into graphic horror.
Book 1 is completed and going out to agents for publishing.

We Choose To Be More Than Our Diagnoses
This international best-selling anthology features the stories of 16 individuals who live with various diagnoses.
I am one of them.

The essence of these stories is to show that it is possible to thrive, and not just survive, when we "Choose to be more."
As a group, we have grown close through this project and support each other so that life doesn't "live" us.
We choose the journey we take. We decide how to "live" our lives.
You can, too!

The author artfully weaves together his own personal journey, experiences with clients, and mindfulness science and techniques, keeping the book continually moving forward at a quick pace. The specific guided mindfulness exercises are well-explained and helpful (this judge certainly tried some out while reading!) Overall, two things are extraordinarily clear. This is an incredibly important topic to cover and is very relevant and timely. And, the author is well suited as an expert to cover this topic. Well done. – Judge, 30th Annual Writer’s Digest Self-Published Book Awards
