The Scars at Night
Coming 2026
After the birth of his daughter, Nate feels his life settling down. A higher echelon, shorter commute, happy family. He’d crushed his nightmares and killed the source.
Aside from a minor nuisance plaguing one of his brothers, his world finally feels the one thing that has eluded him for years: Calm, and just in time. He needs the quiet of a normal life as he prays for a medical miracle to help his partner.
Sadly, when that minor nuisance becomes a fight for life, coupled with a string of suspected suicides committed in the dark, it doesn’t take Nate long to realize how wrong he is about having a peaceful life. Worse, he knows his family ties will once again clash with the demons that won’t let him go.
Caught between leadership and languish, Nate must do what he’s always done to slay the evil–gather his contentious troops and be himself without apology.
But first, he must say goodbye to a part of himself.

Broken Windows
When we view our experiences through a positive lens, we more than likely find something that makes us better for the experience. We press on despite the dilapidated experience for which we find ourselves. Eventually, when the problem passes, we find that we are stronger for the struggle.
Cardboard Fireplaces and Comfort Zones
The girl met a boy long ago and never mentioned her feelings for him. He was the “it” guy in high school, and she never felt she measured up. Years later, thanks to the Internet, she reaches out to him through a high-school connection website. They end up talking after her nasty divorce that had left her mentally paralyzed.
The Beginning
It all started with a carry-on bag full of pictures created before digital photography became the norm. I had taken shots of varying times in my and my family’s life, especially of my children, from the toddler tender moments to the teenage trials.
