They Heinous Conceptual Images
The conceptual art for First Responder visualizes a world where ordinary places carry unseen weight—apartments, streets, accident scenes, and quiet rooms caught between routine and catastrophe. Each image reflects moments where duty, hunger, and identity intersect, revealing the thin line between those who respond to emergencies and those who create them.

They Heinous – Random Prestige Series Bible Art
They Heinous is a psychological horror novel that follows a therapist whose own unresolved illness and moral fractures lead them to decide who deserves help—and who deserves punishment. What begins as clinical care quietly transforms into judgment, control, and violence, blurring the line between healer and executioner. The story explores how authority, empathy, and righteousness can curdle into something monstrous when no one is watching. At its core, the novel argues that the most terrifying evil is not supernatural, but human—born from certainty, secrecy, and the belief that one knows better than everyone else.
They Heinous
Some random conceptual frames from the world of They Heinous — therapy offices, dim hallways, late-night kitchens, and controlled domestic spaces where care becomes surveillance and authority quietly turns predatory. These images explore the ordinary environments in which trust is granted, routines feel safe, and judgment hides behind professionalism, revealing how “help” can become harm long before anyone notices.

Site 123 – Random Prestige Series Bible Art
Site 123 is a slow-burn psychological horror novel centered on isolation, obsession, and the unseen damage left by violence that never makes headlines. What begins as a seemingly ordinary investigation into a remote location unfolds into a study of fixation, buried history, and the way certain places absorb trauma and quietly feed it back to those who linger too long. The story examines how distance, secrecy, and repetition erode judgment, turning curiosity into compulsion and survival into something conditional.
Site 123
Some random conceptual frames from the world of Site 123 — abandoned facilities, long rural roads, overgrown clearings, weathered structures, and the liminal spaces between towns where help is far away and silence feels intentional. These images focus on place as a character, capturing landscapes that appear empty but feel occupied, where the environment itself becomes an accomplice to whatever waits unseen.

Picking Murphys – Random Prestige Series Bible Art
Picking Murphys is a grounded psychological thriller that follows ordinary people as they move through familiar American spaces where something has already gone wrong. The story explores coincidence, guilt, and the thin line between accident and intent, showing how small decisions ripple outward into irreversible consequences. It is less about spectacle and more about accumulation — the way uneventful days, quiet roads, and overlooked moments quietly arrange themselves into tragedy
Picking Murphys
Some random conceptual frames from the world of Picking Murphys — curving back roads, ravines and guardrails, dim kitchens, rural intersections, and the in-between places where lives intersect briefly and then fracture. These images emphasize realism and restraint, capturing environments that feel lived-in and unremarkable on the surface, yet heavy with the sense that something has already shifted beyond repair.

Published Works
My motivation for creativity. This, and a little more helped First Responder materialize.
Book Covers
This section gathers the visual and thematic remnants of my five published works, and upcoming projects, each piece tracing a different descent into obsession, violence, and consequence. Together, they map a single creative trajectory—stories that stand alone, yet echo one another in blood, memory, and aftermath.
Women enroll in an intense crash course promising dominance in corporate America, but when one disappears without a trace, her friend’s search uncovers a twisted world where ambition leads to terrifying consequences. This psychological horror thriller probes self-worth, control, and the dark price of success.
A family traveling to California faces marital turmoil and supernatural interference as benevolent and malevolent spirits vie for control. Their emotional separation becomes haunted and destabilizing, revealing unseen forces shaping their journey toward both horror and self-discovery.
Night shifts blur into hunger, duty, and blood as Dr. Stevens hides what he is while saving those who should already be dead. When Karen stumbles into his orbit, the lines between healer, predator, and protector collapse. Every call becomes a choice between mercy and survival.
A weekend camping trip devolves into something nightmarish when obsession, jealousy, and bad luck collide with the primordial threats of the woods. As danger escalates among friends, both human and animal predators emerge in a desperate fight for survival that becomes nearly impossible to escape.
A dedicated physiotherapist crossing ethical boundaries meets a troubled investigative reporter chasing a pattern of violent crimes. Their intertwined journeys blur justice, obsession, and morality as they uncover disturbing commonalities that defy easy explanation.
Second Chances (First Responder book two.) Nothing stays buried—not bodies, not memories, not the past Amalie shares with the man she still calls Thomas. Alliances form in shadows as old predators resurface and new hunters learn what they are willing to become. Redemption is offered, but it always comes with a cost.
Hemoglobin Insecure (First Responder book three.) Power shifts hands when an offer is made that cannot be refused and a common enemy forces monsters to cooperate. Blood becomes currency, loyalty becomes weaponized, and identity fractures under pressure. What remains of the man must decide if it’s worth saving.

In time, my young padawan.
Equal Hunger
Equal Hunger speaks to the quiet truth beneath survival: that struggle does not choose sides, and neither does endurance. Success here isn’t measured by purity or permission, but by the ability to keep going—through fear, through desire, through nights that demand more than anyone planned to give. What survives is not the strongest or the most righteous, but the ones who adapt, persist, and refuse to disappear, no matter how the dark tries to define them.
Dr. Stevens never cared who someone loved, only what they carried inside. Hunger, grief, desire, identity — he took them all without judgment, without preference, without apology.
Labels dissolve in the dark, where need outweighs explanation. In his world, attraction isn’t selective — it’s human, fluid, and unguarded.
Desire doesn’t ask permission, and neither does survival. Dr. Stevens reflects a truth few want to face: monsters don’t discriminate, and neither does fear.
Here, identity is not a weakness or a shield — it simply exists. What matters is connection, consent, and the moment when defenses finally drop.
Inclusion isn’t a statement for him; it’s instinct. Everyone bleeds the same in the end, and everyone is seen.
