I’ve been quietly working through a full revision pass on several of my earlier books, and I wanted to share what I've done so far.
The short version: I’m taking stories that were originally written in other genres and pulling them into the darker, thriller-and-horror-leaning register that’s become my voice. Same characters, same story bones most times, but sharper, twistier, and built to match the tone readers expect from me.
Here’s where things stand:
Always Behind You, Kimber Arliss and Lucien Drake’s story, has been fully rewritten start to finish as a dark romance.
Cindralis is moving from epic fantasy to folk horror fantasy, with a tighter page count and a twisted, open ending.
Everything Between Us, following Detective Zoey Fox, has shifted from a straight crime novel to psychological horror, keeping readers guessing until the end about what really happened to Julius Prescott.
Franklin’s Folly is becoming an intense stalker horror story, built around obsession and a muse who got away.
Paper Kingdoms, Doug Arceneaux’s story, is being reworked from a bank-fraud drama into something closer to Stephen King’s Needful Things, told in a looking-back POV with an ending that leaves plenty open.
The Homecoming (you may remember it as Once When) got a new title and a full tonal shift into domestic psychological thriller territory, in the same vein as Freida McFadden and Lisa Jewell.
And the Oaths of Honor series — Oath of Ashes, Oath of Mercy, and Oath of Chaos — is being rebuilt as a fully realized dark romance, set against a shared series timeline and preparing for proper publication.
This has been one of the more intensive projects I’ve taken on, going book by book and asking what each story could be if I wrote it today, with everything I’ve learned since I first put these out into the world.
