The world seemed at peace for old Penta, celebrating his 70th birthday. He led a good life and was ready to sit back and enjoy his family and twilight years, but fate had other plans. Darkness took everything from him and set him on a path of horror and blood. Penta must fight to keep his humanity and resist the never-ending Hunger.
I’m excited to announce that The Dark Gift has received its first professional review in the gamer magazine Knights of the Dinner Table, issue 295, page 59. This is a huge deal for me. As a twenty-something, I read this almost religiously for the insight, the laughs, and the tears. Thank you to Noah Chinn for taking a gamble on an indie author like me. I couldn’t be happier.

Even a vampire tires of running and living in the wild.
After two centuries in the wild, Penta Ka Wa is done fleeing the ghosts of the Kingdom of Cord. In the city-state of Avarice, he hopes to find sanctuary – and instead finds something far more dangerous: a vampire mentor offering guidance, power…and a price Penta may not be willing to pay. As he uncovers the shadowy politics of the undead and is drawn deeper into Avarice’s seductive underworld, Penta faces more than just monsters – he faces himself. When loyalty is twisted into manipulation, and desire blurs the lines of right and wrong, he must decide what he will become to survive. Can a vampire still feel love? Can he still choose the light, or has the darkness already won? Find out in the next gripping chapter of the Penta Ka Wa series.

Lord of the Undead – Coming July 2025
Book 3 in the Penta Ka Wa Series
Penta has finally reached the City – but not all doors open for the undead. Survival alone would be a triumph in a place where vampires are outlawed and hunted in the shadows. But Penta is drawn into a web of political intrigue, strange alliances, and creatures unlike anything he’s faced before. As ancient powers stir beneath marble tombstones and bloodstained catacombs, Penta must navigate a world built to destroy him – and confront a challenge that could change the fate of Kinthur itself.
