I'm a proud veteran of the United States Air Force. Back in the day, I served at NORAD and Air Force Space Command headquarters in Colorado Springs, and NAS Keflavik, Iceland. After leaving the service, I completed my undergraduate studies at Indiana University and also earned a master's degree in Organizational Leadership. My day job is talent and product development.
I was born and raised in Indianapolis, but spent many summers in Colorado. The mountains are my happy place. Currently, I live in southern Indiana with my family and our rescue dog, Lilly. My hobbies include biking, hiking and spectator sports, especially the Indy 500. The arts are another passion of mine. I love going to the theater, movies, and live music. I listen to almost anything, from Duran Duran and The Rolling Stones to John Williams and Michael Giacchino. The Empire Strikes Back and Dances with Wolves are my favorite soundtracks.
The first book I remember reading for enjoyment was The Omen by David Seltzer. I found it in the school library and couldn't put it down. After that, I read The Hunt for Red October and was hooked on techno-thrillers. Tom Clancy and Michael Crichton were major influences. I'm also a self-proclaimed Star Wars geek, so meshing the two genres for The Reaper Series has been a lot of fun. Hope you enjoy it!

STEAL THE REAPER (The Reaper Series, Book 1)
When a mysterious spacecraft crashes in a remote region of North Korea, it sets off a geopolitical firestorm. Advanced alien technology could shift the balance of global power, and it is only a matter of time before North Korea's Supreme Leader takes possession and uses this technology to bring the West to its knees. As global tensions rise, no one is aware the United States is harboring the spacecraft's lone survivor. Desperate to find his way home, the extra-terrestrial soon realizes the Americans have other plans for him. His only hope of regaining his freedom is a prototype vessel, known as the Reaper, which lays hidden in the wreckage of the downed spacecraft. But to get to it, he'll need the help of one brave pilot: Captain Ava Tan.
Steal the Reaper is a daring heist that calls for Ava to infiltrate North Korea—the Hermit Kingdom—avoid triggering World War III and pilot an alien vessel that is light years beyond anything she has ever flown. It is a mission that will test Ava's courage and force her to decide where her loyalties truly lie. Earth's fate hangs in the balance and the clock is ticking.
HUNT THE REAPER (The Reaper Series, Book 2)
In Steal the Reaper, Captain Ava Tan pulled off the boldest heist in history, but her success has created a whole new set of problems. Escorting Prince Kypa and Dr. Neil Garrett to Aiwa has exposed the Reaper’s potential to the galaxy. Now, the hunt is on to seize her ship. Ava and her crew must face enemies on multiple fronts. Whoever commands the Reaper will control the galaxy’s most powerful weapon and determine the fates of Earth and Aiwa.
Meanwhile, the race to harvest newfound crystals on Earth is underway. Edmund Mathias, billionaire entrepreneur, is fast at work staking his claim on Challenger Deep’s vast deposits. However, he soon discovers a second survivor from Kypa’s ill-fated mission to Earth. Knowledge of this being’s existence could jeopardize Mathias’s plans to corner the crystal market on Earth. And with the threat of intergalactic harvesters looming large, Mathias must accelerate his plans to seize this opportunity before competition arrives. Failure is not an option, and no one will stand in Edmund’s path to domination.
