Inferis
​​
​There are worlds below us.
Of course, Tim Fischer isn’t aware of that when he accepts a house-sitting position in upstate New York. All he knows is that he needs a change from his soulless job and wasted life spent alone. His friends Sophia and Lawrence visit him in New York for a pleasant afternoon hike, where they run into the gorgeous, unhinged gas-station cashier that Tim can barely speak to. The four of them find themselves in awe of the scenery. No, not the picturesque landscape of New York wilderness—the undiscovered civilizations that lie in hidden caverns.
They’ve stumbled farther than they meant to. They’re trapped—helplessly lost and in danger—until a geeky hermit living under the earth offers to guide them through a labyrinth of tunnels to an entirely new world. Panoramic skies illuminated by floating violet creatures, death-worshippers hunting for their lives, a forest sorceress guarding the secrets of nature…every lethal step is the journey of a lifetime. In Inferis, Tim finds love, happiness, strength, and himself. If only he can find his way out.​
The Scholar's Sanctum​
After a childhood of instability, Cleo Thompson found his first and only real home when he was accepted to Rockwell University. As an obsessive antiquarian and workaholic, he enjoys nothing more than holing up in the library every day to research. He dreams of finding the missing Sanskrit text that would be the lynchpin of his work: the rumored cure for dementia that was lost to history. Cleo is at risk of losing everything, however, after his PhD advisor threatens to cut his scholarship if he doesn’t produce results.
Desperate for answers, Cleo discovers not only a budding romance with a young faculty member, but a new source that could save him. Underneath his university library, he finds a hidden tunnel to an occult academy known as The Sanctum. Surrounded by the dangerous, knowledge-obsessed scholars in this surreal gothic landscape, Cleo is forced to confront what he's willing to sacrifice for a single book. Unfortunately, the Sanctum does not welcome outsiders.
​
The Scholar's Sanctum is a story of obsession, self-discovery…and survival.​​
