A Series of Urban Fantasy

A series of novels set in a dark world of urban fantasy. It's like our world -- on the surface, at least. In the shadows, secret masters pull the strings of humanity and weave their magic to bend the world to their will.

My lens on writing is my central point of contact.

My book 

The first entry in the series, it is the story of Mark Roberts and his search for answers to the confusing dreams and hallucinations plaguing his life. Along the way, he uncovers a web of family secrets and a centuries old struggle for the fate of his soul.

Excerpts can be found at my blog (the Twisted Writer).

The Path Into Darkness

Mark Roberts is a nervous, anxious office worker living a mundane existence in New York City. But when he becomes beset by recurrent nightmares and hallucinations of magical rituals, he tries to learn what is happening to his once-normal life. His search for answers takes him from his home in Manhattan to the long-time family home in Massachusetts, before he learns that his fate is intertwined with a ruined tower in the highlands of Scotland.

Along the way, he discovers his own recently developed aptitude for magic is tied directly to a cycle of reincarnation that puts him in the center of a centuries old battle for possession of his restless soul. As he is initiated into the secret world of magic and sorcery, Mark discovers that there is no such thing as simple coincidence and that hidden hands pull at the strings of his life.
