Your story. My thirty books of practice.
I've published thirty-plus novels since 2010. The flagship holds a 4.7-star average across 4,371 Amazon ratings. That's the résumé; the writing on this page is the interview.
Two ways to work with me. Hand-written — one dollar a word: my hands, your name, my sixteen years. Or AI-assisted from $99 — powered by BookWriter, the writing software I built, delivered finished and formatted.

The scope

- Full commercial rights — your name on the cover
- Revisions built into every engagement
- Formatting ready for publication, print and ebook
- Discretion as the default — nobody hears about this from me
Straight answers
Asked often.
- Hand-written or AI-assisted — what's the difference?
- Hand-written is me at the keyboard at $1/word. AI-assisted runs on BookWriter, my own software, with my editorial pass — from $99 for a complete book.
- Do I own the rights?
- Fully. Your name, your copyright, full commercial rights — that's the whole point of a ghost.
- What genres?
- Fiction is home turf — urban fiction, romance, faith, thrillers. Nonfiction memoirs work too; story structure is story structure.
