Cracked Altar
2021
When darkness falls, evil rises… John’s life is a living nightmare. Any chance of digging himself out of the abyss disintegrated long ago. Fired, discredited, buried under crippling debt, and isolated in a west-Texas ghost-town, he’s both a pariah and a wanted man. Under an investigation for a crime he didn’t commit, he’s quickly running out of allies, and even more rapidly, losing his grip on reality. Late at night, long after the lights have gone out, it’s there. He doesn’t know where it is and what it wants with him. It lurks in the shadows, biding its time before it strikes. It beckons him. If he heeds its demands, he has no way of knowing what awaits him. If he ignores it, the outcome may be worse – far worse…

Things quickly escalate as contact is lost in the restricted area of the forest, and James embarks on a rescue mission. James won’t fail his family again, bringing with him two expert rescue technicians who seem to know the restricted area a little too well. They are hiding something. His family needs him. The forest is hiding something. His family needs him. Something lurks in the shadows. And it craves them all…

The Haunting of Belford Manor
2022
One mansion’s foundation creaks with the weight of its secrets. Marcus, a convicted felon, serves out his sentence, dreaming of his life before his days were spent eating slop and narrowly avoiding being shanked in the shower. Release day comes, and it’s not as sweet as he thought it would be. Abandoned. Broke. Entirely alone. Maybe he was better off in prison… But opportunities for felons are few and far between and the famous Belford Manor needs a caretaker. Where others may see a spooky, crumbling estate, Marcus envisions a future for himself, where he can heal and move on. But everything isn’t what it seems, and questions about the house quickly become impossible to ignore. Now, Marcus is entangled in a mystery older than the dirt the house is built on. Its walls pulse with a fetid horror that makes the lonely felon wish for his cell. The manor wants more than Marcus’s attention. It may very well want his soul too.

Old Scratch
2022
Father Noah Godfrey is no stranger to turmoil. A former soldier turned priest and son of an acclaimed exorcist; he struggles to find work. Living life under his father’s shadow is taking its toll on him. He needs money to survive, but with few viable prospects, his chances aren’t looking good. Father Zachariah, a religious zealot, separated St. Agatha’s Church from the church body and reestablished a new physical church in the middle of Texas. His return from a mission trip in Brazil raises questions. The once beloved priest is a shadow of his former self and is believed to have gone mad. Despite his bizarre behavior, he’s amassed a huge following and has taken his evangelism to the airwaves. People have flocked to The Foundation. His captive audience has even gathered an elite group of believers who spend time at the compound. When the congregation draws attention for all the wrong reasons, the Church dispatches Noah to investigate and report back on the validity of the rumors. Soon, Noah finds himself ensnared in what could be the greatest hoax the world has ever seen…or the location for the final showdown between God and the devil himself. Will Noah uncover the horrifying secrets and expose the truth, or will the congregation's unwavering and deadly loyalty stop him in his tracks?
