Overview: was born in sunny California, where my first career was in hospitality, which brought me and my wife to Massachusetts. When my son was born, I left hotels to become a full-time stay at home dad.
Growing up, I always wrote for fun and expression. I wrote my first full-length novel as part of my Senior Project in High School. Despite struggling with dyslexia growing up, I’ve always found that I express myself best through the written word.
I’m a life long nerd. The various novels, TV shows, movies, and comics that have shaped me are far too numerous to count. I’m a TTRPG player and often the Forever DM. I’m a podcast junkie (and Friend of DeSoto). I’m sure I’ll reveal more about myself over in my Blog.
After discovering the LitRPG sub-genre, I started working on Zee Locked-In, thinking it would just be another fun and creative outlet. With the support of my friends and family, I kept plugging away at it until I felt like I had something publishable. I’m incredibly proud of it and have already started work on Book 2.

Zee Locked-In (#1)
In the bleak, not too distant future, most people with the ability have fled online to the virtual reality, OVR World Online. Zachary "Zee" Jones was never going to be able to afford to become a player. Until he was arrested after committing a crime to save his mother’s life and included in the Inmate Player Program. Even without perception filters to limit his pain, it was better than the alternative sentences. He has the opportunity to earn more money in a 5-year sentence than he could have in his entire life as a hospital janitor. Zee is jacked into Gygax, a high fantasy adventure game world filled with knights, magic, and monsters. But Zee quickly learns that just because the world is virtual, it doesn’t mean the danger isn’t real. Can he find his fortune, maybe a few allies, avoid the dangers of adventuring as an Inmate, and unravel the mystery behind the game’s confounding sentient computer program wearing a familiar face called the Doctor?

After everything that has happened to him, Zee was looking forward to a little peace and quiet once he and his friends were behind the sheltering walls of Corvin. But, having been branded as one of OVR World Online’s Most Wanted, that might have been a pipedream. The moment he shows his face the goldrush begins, only in this case Zee is the gold.
To make matters worse the clock is inexorably ticking down closer to New Year’s Eve, when Avlin Deathstider’s sadistic player-versus-player tournament, The Blunder Games, will be held. The event will be Zee’s only shot to recover The First Player’s Sword before it’s auctioned off and likely beyond his reach forever.
Outnumbered, outgunned, under-leveled, and underpowered! Zee and his loyal friends had slim hope of pulling off their heist even before the Doctor delivered a disturbing revelation that might just tear the party apart.
Can Zee pull off the heist of the century with the deck so stacked against him?
