It’s finally happening! Tales From Purgatory will be out this year—all seven books!

This series is the love of my life. They’re the first books I ever wrote, and I have been working on them for 10 years. It’s finally almost ready to be out in the world. Check back here for news, cover reveals, and exact release dates.

BOOK ONE - THE COMMUNE (Coming March 2025)

After Magdalene’s stepdad double-crosses a drug lord, they hide out in a rotting single wide at the end of a dirt road in the Great Basin. She thinks things can’t get any worse, but live and learn.

Magdalene needs out. She swipes some of the dirty money and holes up with some friends-of-a-friend in the middle of BF Utah, and that’s where things go from bad to weird.

The place is called The Society for Consciousness Research, Exploration and Mapping, though they just call it the Commune. It’s led by a genius mathematician who abandoned his academic career to study lucid dreaming and the afterlife. The people there believe some very interesting things. They also seem to be involved in shady investments and money laundering. But, despite her doubts, Magdalene has nowhere else to go.

Then she meets Omar, another Commune member. When he appears in her dreams—and describes them to her when she’s awake—she’s forced to consider that their beliefs might be real.

Omar teaches Magdalene to manipulate the dreamscape and navigate the surreal pathways of the Dead. But strange henchmen with glowing eyes lurk there, and they’re trying to lure Magdalene in. Then there’s the drug lord, who wants his money back and is searching for her.

Pursued by enemies in two dimensions, Magdalene has to figure out who she can trust and what’s real, before she gets in over her head.
