Humbled and grateful to have received this incredible trophy from the Independent Press Awards in recognition of IN THE LAIR OF LEGENDS being named ‘Best Action/Adventure Novel of the Year.’
Thank you VERY much!
I was honored to be asked back for this Christmas Special…
“…absolutely frickin’ awesome. Thoroughly engaging, impossible-to-look-away-from horrors and hold-your-breath-sort of edge-of-the-seat reading experience.” — Liis Pallas, COVER TO COVER
I’m very honored to have been asked by the Lane Library League to be one of the 48 Oregon authors at this event. Hope to see some of you there!

THE WRATH OF LEGENDS: The warrior daughter of Chief Jolon Winterhawk battles monsters of legend and monsters of men after uncovering a conspiracy that threatens to destroy the legacy of her father.

Just signed a publishing contract for my third book!
“Suspension” (standalone action-adventure/historical thriller) will be out on August 13, 2026.
Great seeing “In the Lair of Legends” included with these other fantastic titles in this fun unboxing video. Thanks for the support!
My latest podcast interview was a wonderful experience! From supportive spouses to composer Jerry Goldsmith, we chatted about a variety of things…and touched a bit on Jolon Winterhawk, too.
Thank you Matthew and ‘Beard of Darkness’ for the opportunity of appearing on this!
