  • The Jefferson Files

    “This is an amazingly written, fast paced page-turner. There are so many aspects of the history that I didn’t realize, and the intrigue is so deeply woven into the story. I picked this book up, as a fan of Jefferson and founding father history, and couldn’t put it down until I finished it. You can tell how meticulously the author researched this subject. The characters are so compelling and well written.”

    — Jessica W.

  • The Return to Sender Files

    “I absolutely love this writing style! I’m glad I stopped one day during this author’s signing/appearance or I would not have known about these wonderful books! These characters really do take on a life of their own! I can understand now what the author meant when he said that the characters do most of the writing!”

    — Angela T.

  • The Sweet Revenge Files

    “I just read The Sweet Revenge Files and was blown away! Every mystery book I have ever read I have either gotten bored or scared. This makes me think of the genre in a different way! The way it was written is fantastic. I would like to thank the writer for bringing this book into the world. I hope he keeps writing these amazing books and keeps bringing them into my life! He is amazing!”

    — Michael L.

CHECK OUT QUENTIN'S PAGE
Cover of a children's book titled 'Quentin and his Shadow'. The cover illustration shows a young boy with curly red hair, glasses, a white shirt, jeans, and sneakers, standing outdoors near a tree with a colorful rainbow in the background. The boy has a backpack on.

Quentin McKenna is not what you’d expect, and he likes it that way. His imagination is wider than the sky and brighter than the moon he loves to watch each night. Quentin is a quiet explorer, a collector of small wonders, happiest when he’s outside listening to the trees whisper or walking alongside his dad on slow, thoughtful adventures.

But Quentin has another companion, one that understands him better than anyone else: his shadow.

To Quentin, his shadow isn’t just a shape that follows him around, it’s a friend, a comfort, and a part of who he is. They play together when no one else is around, sharing secrets only dreamers understand.
