FOUR DOORWAYS IN OR NEAR NEW ORLEANS
Out Now
“…a high-octane collision of trippy, philosophical sci-fi and intense, cosmic Lovecraftian horror. Think of the Marvel show What If…but dial the weirdness up by a factor of ten.”
– 5/5, Mari N, Goodreads/Fable.com
“…the ending is absolutely beautiful and haunting… I am not normally an emotional reader, but the final chapters *may* have made me unexpectedly tear up.”
– 5 /5 Ali Levine, Netgalley
“With gorgeous writing and such developed world-building, this was a wonderful story that absolutely broke my heart. Highly recommended.”
4/5 Brooke G., Netgalley
“This book was fantastic. The imagery was stunning. The short stories are fractured pieces of a larger tale which examines humanity from an outsider’s point of view. Pushing the limits of what humans can physically and psychologically withstand while showing empathy and caring can possibly save us all. Humankind is worth saving, worth remembering- even after everything turns to dust.”
5/5 Marguerite Jacques, Goodreads
“…blends cosmic horror and emotional insight, all set against the backdrop of a city that refuses to let go of its secrets. If you enjoy dark, imaginative fiction that makes you question time, love, and identity, this novel will linger with you.”
4/5, Stephanie Melucci – Netgalley
“Four Doorways will spin your around and upend your perspective more than once. All while forcing your to gaze ever forward at the abyss that awaits, beyond space, beyond reality, at the end of time.”

“It’s weird, wonderful, mind boggling, genre bending, and has so much heart!”
– 5/5 Jen Reads Horror, Instagram
“This is perfect for people that like weird sci-fi books that grasp you from the moment you start reading.”
– 4/5 Alex Cordova, The Storygraph
“…a novel diversion for genre readers looking for something a bit outside the usual “weird tales” fare that still delivers the requisite claws, fangs, and tentacles. An eccentric alien-invasion yarn of unusual scope and ambition.”
– Kirkus Reviews

Free Short Story (requires email address)
Bunton Hill Garden and the village up the road are apparently all that’s left of Earth. The antiquated English garden was snatched out of time by the strange, non-temporal beings that observe from the boundaries of chaos-time. Like a zoo specimen, the garden was collected, along with the villagers and anyone unlucky enough to be visiting. The latter includes Dr. Emma Plavik, a botanist, who does her best to keep the garden safe from the irrational villagers and their inscrutable captors. But her hardest struggle is dealing with her own tremendous grief—and trying to forget what’s stuck behind the ancient door in the back of the garden, the one she keeps shut.
