Abandoned by her father, Jezelle grows up on the unforgiving streets of Grafton Notch. Hardened by betrayal and shaped by survival, she learns to trust no one and rely on nothing but her instincts. But when a mysterious power stirs within her, it sets her on a path of discovery and danger. As Jezelle fights to carve a place for herself in a world that has only ever tried to break her, she must decide who she is and what she’s willing to become to claim the future that was stolen from her.
3/13- 7,482 words. New project begins. Just finished the 2nd chapter.
3/20- 19,397 words.
4/2- I’ve been doing a crappy job of updating here, but I’ve been writing hard. Currently, I’m at 46,490 words, so it is about halfway. Being a dark fantasy writer, I’ve killed a lot of characters, but tonight, I cried. This book hits like no other. I feel like I’ve crossed some sort of line as a writer.
4/10- Getting close to the end. It is in sight, maybe 4-5 chapters left. 74,550 words. Hope to have it around 90k.
4/11- 83,674. The 1st draft of Jezelle is pretty much complete. It is all there. I have to go back and add some things, maybe a chapter, but I’ve written the ending. All told, it will probably be in the high 80s to low 90s for word count. It is a rainy weekend, so it will be done and ready for editing by Sunday.
7/16- Forgot to update that I am now querying for an agent to represent Jezelle. Fingers crossed!
11/10- Rewrite begins after feedback from the dream agent.
1/8/26- Happy New Year! After almost two months of an extensive rewrite, I am back to querying. The book grew, but in a good way. 83,674 to ~114,000 words.
2/7/26- It was a good fight, and I came close a couple of different times, but ultimately, traditional publishing doesn’t seem to be in the cards for Jezelle. Time to switch gears. I’m not giving up. Jezelle will be here soon!
2/18/26- After a long haul of edits and revisions, Jezelle: Thief of Forks is now available for pre-order. Releases April 4, 2026!

Just a quick mid-week post. The weather has been horrendous here in the Boston area, but it gave me a little extra time (two extra work-from-home days while we dig out), so I threw together a book trailer for Jezelle: Thief of Forks. I think it does a good job of capturing the book’s mood…
