His current work-in-progress manuscript is a horror novel loosely based on Sherman Ranch which focuses upon an isolated and very religious family on a remote farm. Currently, it’s likely to be in the genre of existential/cosmic horror when completed. It’ll be great for people who love horror novels once it’s finished!
Cheryl is a thriller/crime novel and tragic comedy. A story of addictions and chaos, it takes place following the sudden death of the protagonist’s eldest daughter. It’s perfect if you like dark humour, don’t mind harsh language, and are interested in thriller novels or books that tackle heavy subjects. Follow Cheryl, her family, along with the reader favourite, and author favourite, Matilda, as she navigates her grief, the politics of suburbia, and confronts head-on what caused her daughter to leap off that balcony…
Gnomes and Knights is an adorable and whimsical collection of short stories with 10 rhyming stories and a (non-rhyming) fairy tale. Great for kids and elementary school teachers, it would also appeal to anyone who likes rhyming stories, fantasy tales, easy reads, or bedtime stories. Fredrick Jerome Kopillus Gnome and the various garden creatures he is friends with all star in adorable rhyming stories to captivate and delight any reader. Nathan the Knight, the main character of the second half of the book, overcomes adversity and obstacles using his wits and charisma rather than his sword and shield. Through gathering allies, they all eventually make their way to the lair of the evil plaguing the land, only to find that evil wasn’t at all what they were expecting.
