Most of my stories are dark with unhappy endings. I tend to write about seriously flawed characters who struggle with daily existence. They are in a state of decay and spiraling downward. Sometimes their problems are no fault of their own, but most of the time they've created their own catastrophic situation and deserve their bad end.

So why do I write stories with unhappy endings? Because life often has unhappy endings.

I'm currently working on my next novel "Capricorn's Collapse" the second book in the Zodiac Series following "Aquarius Falling".
