The Unlife of Lisa Cooper Stories follows a kick-ass female protagonist with agency and a shillelagh. It's a fang-biting, head-bashing good time with adventure, heart, a cool dog, and just a wee bit of romance. Just look up "The Unlife of Lisa Cooper" wherever you like to buy your books!

Haikus are so cool.
I'd love to write one someday.
But I don't know how.

Folks! I'm hoping to land an agent and get a publishing deal in the traditional market. If you haven't already, I'm asking you to leave a review for any book of mine you've read. Reviews are a huge metric for showing agents how prolific an author is. Who doesn't want to be PROLIFIC?

Here is a commission piece I had done about a year ago when I was drafting "Vengeance". That's Lisa, Neil, and Chewie facing deadly supernatural threats in Ireland.

So... I'm sick, and I can't see one of my favorite authors who will be a mere hour away. The being sick part, I can deal with. I'm bummed out about missing the chance to indulge my inner fanboy.

At only ~40 pages, The Wicked Wound of Whitney Hill sneaks into your TBR like a little thief but doesn't piss off your other books because it's only like a 40 minute read. AND it features the Peabody coven from the Unlife of Lisa Cooper Stories!

Plotting murder isn't easy. Vampire or not, it's not in Lisa's wheelhouse. Yet she must travel to Ireland to find a mysterious power to grant her the strength to destroy the vampire lord who killed her family and threatens to kill again. But seeking such power could risk Lisa's soul.
