Debut Novel Coming Soon
Unclean
Kalen Halrowe shouldn’t exist, but he doesn’t know that yet.
Raised in secret within the Sanctwood Forest, Kalen has been hidden from The Order—the ruling force that executed his fae father for loving his mother, a witch.
The week before his eighteenth birthday, he learns the truth about who and what he really is: a hybrid. Half-witch, half-fae, and wholly Unclean.
To survive his Awakening and come into his power, he must leave behind everything and everyone he’s ever known.
But when his Awakening is complete, Kalen returns to a world that forces him to face impossible questions: Can one insignificant person really make a difference? And what will it cost to try?
Unclean is a story for anyone who has ever felt like they didn’t belong. For those who dream of a better world. And for those who, in their darkest moments, held on to hope and healing, even when it felt impossible.

About Me
I’ve been writing for as long as I can remember.
Whether it was sorting through falling in love for the first time, blogging, writing poems for my wife, or keeping a journal for my son, words have helped give meaning to some of the most influential moments of my life.
I believe that our stories can change hearts and minds. That they can crack us wide open and make space for more goodness and understanding. That they can remind us of what it means to be human. And that’s the kind of story I hope you find here.
Thank you, from the bottom of my heart, for coming along with me on this journey. I appreciate it more than you’ll ever know.
