Since the age of eleven, I've been writing fantasy novels for young readers. So far, they're unpublished. So be the first to take a look at them here!




Fingers holding a match

Fire Play

A fantasy/mystery for young adults (complete at 59, 000 words)

Fourteen-year-old Karen Crowley is horrified when she accidentally engulfs her best friend in flames in the middle of rehearsing The Two Gentlemen of Verona. Now Karen’s been yanked out of drama class and forced into special school where the government trains teenagers who can control one of the four elements - and where the Earth, Water, and Air departments blame “the Burnsies” for everything that goes wrong.

Desperate for a way back to the stage, Karen strong-arms her Fire classmates into a production of Macbeth. But when a mystery arsonist sends students to the hospital, everyone suspects Karen’s cast. As the government prepares to relocate the Fire department to the Arctic for “safety reasons,” Karen fights to prove her innocence... and to nail the real culprit before her theatre dreams go up in smoke.

Our Man Tom

An adventure for middle-grade readers (complete at 33, 000 words)

Old secret agents don't die, they just never say never again.

Thirteen-year-old Tom Lincoln has the awesomest secret friends ever: the Hooks, two debonair ghosts who haunt his attic and teach him jiu-jitsu and fencing. At least, he thought the ghosts were awesome—until his best pal was kidnapped, he caught his school's Audio-Visual crew building a missile launcher in the shop wing, and the Hooks tried to convince him to forget any of it ever happened.

Tom discovers the Hooks were high-level spies. They died fighting Dr. Shade, a terrorist mastermind who once built his headquarters where Tom's middle school now stands. Everyone thought Shade was killed along with the Hooks, but it looks like his murderous plans are very much alive… and it’s up to Tom to stop them for good.
