DARK CIRCLES
(13 and older)
Do You Believe in Magic?, book 1 of my middle-grade portal fantasy series titled Dark Circles, is now available for purchase on Amazon.
~~~
After discovering a magical waterfall deep in the forest, a boy and his dog embark on an epic adventure in a fantastical world filled with monsters and magic. In the real world, Charlie is a 13-year-old nerd picked on by bullies. But in the fantasy world, he becomes a wizard wielding formidable powers. Standing in his way is a vile monster bent on destruction.
Dark Circles is an adventure of epic scope. Only those with a hero’s heart will have the courage to stand at Charlie’s side when the war begins.

The Death Wizard Chronicles (18 and OLDER)
For a thousand years, none have rivaled the power of Torg, the Death Wizard, as he ruled his people and kept peace on Triken.
Now a new evil has arisen. The sorcerer Invictus is greater even than Torg, and his greed and ambition threaten to engulf the land
in eternal darkness. Torg becomes freedom’s final hope, but first he must die to earn the victory.
