Novel in Progress
Black Patch Harvest – My debut novel-in-progress, Black Patch Harvest is a Southern horror story set in rural Kentucky, where a former journalist and his girlfriend return to her hometown and uncover a cult’s deadly secrets tied to ancient rituals and fertile land. It’s a story about cycles—of belief, of sacrifice, and of how hard it is to escape the place that made you.
