Author of Fiction

Stories have the power to ignite curiosity, stir emotions, and shift the way we see the world. As a writer of sci-fi, thrillers, and fantasy, my greatest joy is crafting narratives that pull readers into the unknown—stories that don’t just entertain but challenge perspectives, spark wonder, and linger long after the last page. Whether it’s unraveling the mysteries of science, exploring the depths of human nature, or venturing into the fantastical, my goal is always the same: to make you feel, think, and see the world a little differently.

Synopsis:

Detective Jonathan Rambeaux has been drowning in guilt ever since he accidentally killed his sister in a car wreck. Looking for purpose, he finds conspiracy instead—along with a rogue geneticist, a corrupt cop, and a very opinionated talking beagle.

 

Dr. Dafne DeWitt has just rewritten the rules of neurogenetics, creating Parmesan, a beagle with human-level intelligence who loves Law & Order marathons and eating copious amounts of cheese. But when biotech giant Sable Industries learns of Parm’s unique DNA, they send dirty NYPD officer, Salvatore De Luca, to abduct Dafne and steal her creation. Unknown to the world, Sable has been using gene editing to turn terminally ill children into super-powered weapons, and Parm might be the missing piece to perfecting their most dangerous experiment yet.

 

De Luca has no problem getting his hands dirty—after all, Sable saved his son’s life. But when Rambeaux stumbles into the chaos and decides to play hero, things spiral fast. With all four of their lives on the line, they’ll have to navigate shifting allegiances, deadly betrayals, and Sable’s relentless pursuit. How far will they go to survive? What separates a hero from a villain? And seriously—who fed Parm so much cheese?
