Description: Detective Alex Morgan is trained to read between the lines-but what happens when her life becomes one long, tangled lie? At work, she's hunting a sadistic killer whose victims are piling up fast-each body left in the rain, carved with symbols no one can decode. At home, chaos reigns: her 13-year-old daughter is pregnant, her teen son is spiraling into addiction, and her ex-husband is nothing more than a voicemail that never gets returned. She's holding a badge in one hand and her sanity in the other-barely. Then comes the man in the storm-dark-eyed, enigmatic, impossibly seductive. The kind of man who should come with a warning label... or a body count..There's an immediate pull, a desire so fierce it breaks her rules. He disappears before she can ask his name. And somehow, Alex keeps letting him back in. Into her house. Into her bed. Into the case? As the bodies stack higher and the storm outside grows more violent, so does the one inside her. She doesn't know who to trust-including herself. Why does the killer feel so close? Why do the clues keep pointing to the man she can't stop touching? And what happens when the line between hunter and prey disappears completely? Alex keeps digging. And sleeping with the suspect. She tells herself it's control, strategy. But how many more people have to die before she stops confusing pleasure for protection? Can she uncover the truth before her family collapses entirely? Or will her need-for escape, for touch, for him-drag her into a grave she didn't see coming? How many lies can she tell before one of them becomes her own obituary? Some storms kiss. Others kill. And some... do both.

What if Catherine Morland was actually onto something? What if her Gothic novels had actually prepared her to encounter the atrocities of the real world? What if General Tilney's crimes were much worse than just being a snob and a heartless social climber? What if Northanger Abbey kept a terrible secret? Follow Catherine as she explores the Gothic Abbey and encounters witnesses, looking for clues. ************ This chaptered short story is a rewriting of Jane Austen's Northanger Abbey" I wrote while I was tutoring a highschool student and she had to write a detective story and she hated it and I proposed we do a "Catherine solves the mystery" rewrite and she was onboard and we ended up with her version and my version (this is my version). (I lost the end of my original text so I'll have to re-invent it...) Some of the dialogues are from Jane Austen's novel and/or Jon Jones's film adaptation but most of the text is a retelling (and departure from the original) in my own words.

But in secret, away from the eyes of the world, they are lovers-entangled in a forbidden romance that could destroy them both. Runi, the youngest Prime Minister in Bangladesh's history, wields power with precision. Shadab, her exiled opponent, is her secret lover, their union hidden from a world that sees them as mortal enemies. Ratul appears to be a journalist-but he is more than that. A secret agent of the Goyenda Nirikhan Sangstha, his mission is to uncover the deadly games surrounding Runi, protect the innocent, and reveal conspiracies that no one else dares to investigate. When Runi's childhood friend, Nina, becomes a target, the stakes rise higher than ever. Alliances shift, secrets are weaponized, and power is a dangerous game. In a world where love and politics collide, how far will Runi and Shadab go to protect each other, and who will survive the shadows?"

A short story I wrote a few years ago based on the game 'Clue.' Professor Plum is falsely accused of John Body's murder and must find the killer before he is arrested.

High tech meets hard boiled in "Mash-Up", a deep fake detective noir that pours Hollywood hijinks, international espionage and algorithmic art in the blender and spins up a stiff shot of murder. Sam Cache, a government keyboard jockey turned online gumshoe scrapes by cracking penny ante ransomware beefs until her former NSA handler draws her into the crime of the century... Who hacked Mary Poppins? On the path of a rogue AI, she tangles with tinsel town wanna-be's, transhuman cultists, and a blood thirty business mogul in a race to uncover the truth. Mash-Up is "Girl with the Dragon Tattoo" by way of "The Big Sleep", a darkly humorous story that launches a new breed of private eye with a finger on the pulse of our not to distant future.

(Please ignore the book cover, it was the first thing I saw in my camera roll 😭😭😭) In a world of chaos and destruction, three detectives, Mika, Lilie, and Boxie are after a mysterious criminal. Its crimes start out small, but start getting more serious over time. When they almost have it in their grasp, it always manages to slip out and escape easily. It always left codes to break and messages, taunting them, but giving them hints at the same time. They are slowly being driven to the brink of insanity, and all of them are starting the same: what if they turned to the other side? What do you think? Will they become villains? Or will they hold on the their sanity and stay on the right side? (you can contact me through Pinterest if you want to make suggestions for the book or you have critism!

She disappeared live. In front of thousands of people. Lena Cross was a van-life influencer who built her career on isolation, risk, and authenticity. Her final livestream ended abruptly in the middle of a forest - the camera falling, the feed cutting to black. By morning, she was missing. Former criminal psychologist Edward Hale is brought in to examine the case. Not to chase online theories or viral clips, but to understand behavior - patterns shaped by attention, algorithms, and expectation. What he uncovers is not a crime driven by violence, but by pressure. Not a mystery of where Lena went, but why stopping became impossible. The Vanishing of the Influencer is a slow-burn psychological mystery about visibility, performance, and the unseen cost of always being watched. No supernatural elements. No easy villains. Just people, systems, and the consequences of being rewarded for going too far.
