Honored to tie for top contributor of the year at Black Hare Press!

My horror short story "Session #1031" hit #1 in Horror Fiction on the Amazon Kindle Store!
The story follows an injured deaf man who receives radical experimental surgery that will change his life forever—but not in the way he expects.
What starts as hope turns into a nightmare of medical horror and unintended consequences.
Watching it climb to #1 was surreal and incredibly humbling. I'm grateful to every reader who took a chance on this dark little story. Sometimes the scariest stories are the ones where you get exactly what you asked for.
