Welcome to my Worlds!
I am a writer. Always have been, always will be.
I started my writing and publishing journey with the graphic novel series The Chronicles of Henny. As the warning label says, they may look like they were drawn by an 8-year-old, but they are not suitable for one.
The Chronicles of Henny is what I like to call humor for "grownups". I love making them, and I laugh my socks off every day while Henny drinks, curses and tells terrible jokes!
There is no place I'd rather be.
Volume 4 is available NOW!
But why stop there? My debut paranormal fiction novel, Soul's Choice is out in the world! And so is its sequel! There are no vampires, werewolves, or zombies to speak of. It's more of a coming of age story, set both in the real world as we know it, and the afterlife as I imagine it to be.
The Soul Must Go On, the sequel to Soul's Choice, is available now! If you're dying to find out what happened to Amy and the rest... the wait is over.
New Release: Beneath the Snow is here!
(Snowpocalypse in a shopping mall, anyone?)
And just when you think I've done it all...
There will always be more books.
I'm currently working on a coauthored project, Eyes on the Road. This Young Adult road trip novel (with feelings) will be Book One in The Winding Road series and is set to release in 2021.
The Chronicles of Henny Volume 5 is in the works and other ideas are simmering.
Check back for more about me and all my projects. In the meantime, that 'shop now' button will take you to my store at bagoflettuce.com where you will also find all the details about my currently published works!

The Chronicles of Henny
The Chronicles of Henny follow the life and struggles of a fowl-mouthed, drunken chicken named Henny who lives with a cop. He's just trying to find his place in the world . . .
Yes, disastrous (and hilarious) consequences are bound to ensue.
Clearly not suitable for children, these humorous graphic novels are written for "grownups." Bonus: The illustrations are as comical as the books!

Soul's Choice is set in both the afterlife and the world as we know it. This story follows the journey of three souls and the choices they make in the face of disaster, despair, and the underlying but always present Rules.

Yeah, it's for the kids. But I've seen more than a few adults having some fun with it. You're never too old!

A sequel to Soul's Choice.
When eighteen-year-old Amy Clarke-Grant dies, leaving behind her husband and twin babies, she discovers it is not the end.
Predeceased by her parents, Amelia and Jason, Amy is astonished to find them where she does. Her family calls to her from this brand new world, the In Between, and from Earth, where danger lurks. Throw in a mystery pal waiting to welcome her to the afterlife and Amy's plate is full.
The Soul Must Go On picks up where Soul's Choice left off. What will become of Amy now? Will she be able to rise to the challenges and fix what needs to be fixed? Or will she once again succumb to her flaws and let everyone down... including herself?

Beneath the Snow
The Soul Must Go On
Beneath the Snow
When an unprecedented September blizzard sweeps through the town of Hazelton on the Canadian Prairies, the citizens hunker down to wait it out. It's not just Hazelton. Hurricanes, floods, and ever bigger snowstorms are raging across the globe. Maybe their town got off lucky.
Thinking the worst is over, a brave few dig their way out. They need to get on with their lives. They need to go to work. They need to go shopping.
Twyla sets out in expectation of a quiet day at the linen store. Horace reports for duty at the grocery store with something more sinister in mind. Little do they know their world is about to be reduced to this single shopping mall.
Because the storm wasn't over. It was only napping.
Will Twyla, her fellow mall employees, and the would-be-shoppers find a way to come together and survive in their new society beneath the snow?
Or will hell freeze
