Author & Storyteller

Introducing my debut novel:

The Club by the Sea

The Club by the Sea tells the captivating story of Clark James, an aspiring jazz singer with a mysterious residency at the Sea House in Big Sur, California. After returning from WWII, Clark is determined to chase his dream of stardom, but a fateful contract binds him in ways he never imagined. Frozen in time at the age of 23, Clark remains tethered to the Sea House as the world moves on, forcing him to confront the true cost of his pursuit of fame.

Decades later, real estate mogul Neal Smith acquires the long-abandoned Sea House, unaware of its dark history. When Neal's grandparents visit to see his latest project, his grandmother, Amelia, steps inside the dilapidated club and reveals a long-buried secret—her passionate love affair with the famous Clark James.

Meet the Author

Born into this world in a hurry - quite literally months early, I guess I have always had a story to tell.

Storytelling has always been a part of my life. As a child, writing stories was a form of escaping, where I could create my own worlds with characters, plots, and dreams. Later, in my teenage years, I developed a new craft of storytelling through the lens of a camera. Whether with a pen and a piece of paper or through a camera, the idea of telling a good story has been consistent throughout my life and career.

Writing is therapeutic. I don’t always have or know the words that I want to say, but I can write them. Throughout the last five years of my life, I have experienced and lived so much -all stories that I wish to tell one day.

My Writer Era starts now with my debut novel, The Club by the Sea, available for purchase on December 16, 2024.

Let’s just say it’s the first of many projects.
