What’s the most fun way to exercise?
Forget the gym—just have kids. Let them run you absolutely ragged. You’ll be too exhausted to even think about traditional exercise. My personal fitness routine? Nerf gun wars. They’re fast. Too fast. By the end, I’m a sweaty, bruised mess who may or may not have tripped over the cat, a toy dinosaur, and my own dignity.
Honestly, the best (and most chaotic) workout plan is having children and chasing them for the next 18 years. Cardio? Check. Strength training? Ever tried carrying a toddler, a bag of snacks, and a scooter at the same time?
And somehow—miraculously—with whatever microscopic energy I have left, I write and illustrate books. Magic, caffeine, or stubbornness? Who knows. Either way, you can check them out here:
In the grimy streets of 18th century Bristol, a brutal murder has shaken the city to its core. Detective Acker is on the case, determined to uncover the truth behind the slaying of Lady Penelope, a noblewoman found dead in an alleyway. As fear and whispers of Jack the Ripper’s return spread like wildfire, Acker is thrust into a web of lies, secrets, and scandal that threatens not only his career, but the very fabric of the police force.
With every suspect hiding something, Acker races against time to expose the killer. The investigation takes a shocking turn when Acker uncovers Lady Penelope’s darkest secret-a love child given away at birth. The deeper he digs into her life, the clearer it becomes why someone wanted her silenced.
But when the truth hits close to home and Acker’s wife accidentally stumbles upon the murderer, the case explodes into a frantic race to stop him before more lives are lost. Will Acker bring the killer to justice, or will the secrets of the past tear his world apart?
Twists, betrayals, and a killer lurking in the shadows-The Bristol Murders will keep you guessing until the very last page.
The year is 1840. Eighteen-year-old Mary Carver is being hunted down by a decomposing witch called Elizabeth while trying to search for her parents. Confused and Scared, with Elizabeth not far behind, Mary meets two seamen who had known her parents, and agrees to help her find them. But Mary doesn’t know that the seamen know the witch more than they’re letting on.
Thrown into a world of magic and monsters, Mary will follow in her parents footsteps to try and defeat the witch. The past is dark and everyone holds dark secrets.
Who can be trusted?
The witch is dead…isn’t she?
Mary’s situation is fraught with danger and uncertainty. With Elizabeth’s cult still active and powerful allies working to resurrect her, Mary must tread carefully and rely on her instincts to discern friend from foe. Felicity’s sudden appearance and interest in Miles only add to the problem, leaving Mary questioning her motives and potential connection to Elizabeth.
To thwart the cult’s efforts and protect her loved ones, Mary must gather allies she can trust. She may need to delve into the shadows of Elizabeth’s past to uncover hidden vulnerabilities within the cult’s network. With courage, resourcefulness, and perhaps a bit of luck, Mary could disrupt their plans and prevent Elizabeth’s return.
However, the presence of Felicity trying to steal her man introduces another complication. Mary must remain vigilant and keep Miles safe. If Felicity is indeed aligned with the cult or has ulterior motives, Mary will need to confront her and outmaneuver her schemes.
In this high-stakes game of cat and mouse, Mary’s determination and cunning will be tested like never before. She must navigate a treacherous landscape of deception to safeguard those she holds dear.
The old house at the end of the street has a dark history. For centuries, locals have talked of strange events
and disappearances within its walls. Wild tales have been woven into folklore, told at night to scare children.
For Arthur and Amelia, the house was a bargain, in need of some repair but big enough for their growing family.
They hadn’t heard the rumours. They didn’t know about the people vanishing. They had no idea that moving to
this quaint little English town might not be the fresh start they were hoping for.
Something has been disturbed. Something waits, trapped in the shadows, craving the souls of the unwary.
Tick tock. Tick tock. Beware the thirteen on the clock.
But when he can’t find it on his own, he must ask for help.
Fun rhymes and colorful illustrations make this book about our differences a great learning experience for all ages.
