Happy Boy

Johnny Kessler’s life is anything but child’s play. It’s the ’90s, and while his classmates rollerblade and listen to Walkmans, twelve-year-old Johnny hides a devastating secret. As the weight of keeping his secret grows, his imagination offers a refuge, bringing his Lego men to life and conjuring a giant golfing bee whose wayward tee shot lands him in detention. Johnny’s irreverent humor and cynical wit are his only defense as he tries to make sense of the adult world that betrayed him. But when the truth threatens to come out, Johnny has to decide who to trust, before it’s too late.

Book One: Dangerous to a Demon’s Heart

Coming Spring 2026

Adriana is a succubus with a secret: she craves love, not souls. Banished from Hell and hiding in 18th-century England, she longs for a life beyond her demonic heritage. But her desires are tested when the alluring Daemon Claybourne arrives, stirring a passion she can’t deny. Their forbidden connection exposes her true nature, forcing her to choose between love and damnation. When Daemon’s life hangs in the balance and a demon hunter closes in, Adriana must embrace her dark powers to give him the one thing he lacks: a heart.
Can a succubus find redemption in love, or will her infernal blood forever bind her in darkness?

About Me

The truth is, it will require a novel, maybe two, to vociferate my life across the page and explain everything about me, or at least the parts I am willing to share. A man does deserve some secrets you know…
