Supernatural Crime Thrillers from a Retired California Deputy Sheriff
Real police work. Real streets. Things that don’t belong in this world.
I spent 15 years carrying a badge as a Deputy Sheriff. I’ve worked the calls, the scenes, and the investigations that most people only see on TV. Now I write about cops who run into something the academy never trained them for. Every story starts with real police work. Then it goes somewhere darker.
