feel free to check out my new novel FOUR DARKS - a gritty coming-of-age novel about sixteen-year-old Jack who is trying to break free from a traumatic past and looking for connection (and love) in all the wrong places:
A twisted affair with an older man, a sadistic father, a mysteriously missing mother... FOUR DARKS sends sixteen-year-old Jack on a fateful journey, exploring obsession, the will to survive and the desperate wish to belong.
On his birthday, in an effort to escape his cruel father, Jack wanders frozen London, ends up at Tate Modern—and encounters an intriguing stranger. James, an art collector, feels like the perfect present, a glimmer of hope at just the right time. But as Jack falls for the much older man, a toxic game of courtship and rejection plunges him down an unsettling path...
(Disclaimer: contains moderate depictions of sex, violence, abuse & drug use)
"The story is gripping, disturbing, and heartbreaking and at the same time it leaves the reader inspired by Jack’s perseverance. The book evokes a tremendous amount of emotion and deals with some weighty topics but left me with a sense of utter hopefulness. The characters are diverse, compelling, flawed and utterly human. The author leads us on an experience that delves into abuse, longing, desperation, cruelty, identity, and fate. And he does so with humor, a touch of sexiness, and compassion." Amazon Review
"Captivating, Powerful, Emotional, and Beautiful" Amazon Review
