Shadows within the Fog is my debut novel.

I wrote this book during the pandemic. It was my first novel and I used a technique of multiple voices to tell a story about a man's quest for forbidden love. Some of it is written in first person and some of it in third depending on who's telling the story. It is a book of passionate longing and unrequited love.

Here's a question. How does Hildegard become a Christian?

The  Last Train to Milan is my second novel.

With this book, I wanted to write a love story but instead discovered the character of Freddy Rollins, a man who wants to find love but struggles with connection. He meets a series of women who lead him on an adventure.

As a technique, I attempted to show my main character’s mind-wandering. Using long drawn-out paragraphs, Freddy spaces out and the text rolls across random, disconnected thoughts as they pass through his brain.

Here’s a question: what role does the watch play in the storyline?
