I am delighted to report that I have a new novel, a thriller-horror called ATACAMA, out on May 13, 2025 via Sley House Publishing!
What is ATACAMA About?
When her best friend is murdered in the Atacama Desert, Appalachian academic researcher Fiona Hawthorne finds herself facing a sinister corporation and a monster hiding in plain sight. This novel is perfect for fans of Jeff VanderMeer, Sarah Gailey and Victor Manibo. There’s a little bit of The X-Files, Black Mirror, Annihilation, and John Carpenter’s The Thing to this book!
