The Finite Woman
A contemporary psychological novel
Margaret is a gifted math prodigy determined to escape the small Wisconsin town that defined her childhood. Tom is a pediatric surgeon in Los Angeles whose ordered life collapses after the sudden death of his wife. When a single act of violence alters Margaret’s future and Tom’s grief pulls him into darkness, both carry secrets that shape the people they become.
Years later, an unexpected connection between their teenage children draws Margaret and Tom together, forcing each to confront buried truths, moral reckoning, and the possibility of redemption. Told across two decades and multiple points of view, The Finite Woman explores the lasting impact of violence, the weight of guilt, and the fragile ways love can emerge from loss.
“A complex psychological tale examines grief and unlikely redemption.”

The Patron Saint of Revenge
A revenge thriller
Seventeen-year-old Kim believes she’s ordinary—until her best friend is kidnapped and disappears into the desert outside Las Vegas. The abduction has a purpose: to lure Olivia’s brother, Vince, back to Nevada so he can be killed for what he knows about a powerful criminal enterprise built on sex trafficking and silence.
As Vince walks knowingly into a trap, Kim follows, not yet understanding the violence waiting for her. Olivia is held in a concealed underground room beneath a remote desert trailer, guarded by men who expect no resistance. What they don’t know is that others are converging on the same place—among them a newly sober ex-con seeking revenge against the man who destroyed his childhood.
When loyalties fracture and blood is spilled, Kim is forced to discover what she’s capable of when innocence no longer protects her. The Patron Saint of Revenge is a fast-paced thriller about guilt, justice, and the terrifying realization that ordinary people can become extraordinary—and dangerous—when the life of someone they love is at stake.
