I'm a fan of classic pulp and weird fiction, inspired by the works of Arthur Conan Doyle, Robert E. Howard, H.P. Lovecraft, Raymond Chandler, Dashiell Hammett, and Ray Bradbury. My stories follow that same vein-tales of mystery, horror, and the strange, much like those found in the pages of Weird Tales.
My current series, The Van Hadley Chronicles, follows Simon Van Hadley, a wandering necromancer who roams post-WWII America, unraveling dark and supernatural mysteries. Armed with forbidden magic and a Colt .45, Simon's investigations lead him to haunted towns, cursed objects, and twisted creatures. At his side is his enigmatic teacher-a powerful, malevolent entity with tendrils buried deep in his soul. Simon doesn't know Her name, but Her influence is undeniable.
Each story in The Van Hadley Chronicles is episodic, so you can dive into any tale without needing to follow the others-just be ready for a world where every victory comes at a price, and the line between hero and villain is never clear.
If you're a fan of Kolchak the Night Stalker, Constantine, or The Dresden Files, you'll find familiar elements in The Van Hadley Chronicles: a brooding investigator, dark magic, and supernatural mysteries with a price.
