Magic is the Mask—coming fall 2026
Christine is a witch, the last in a long line who heal through songborn spells. Orphaned and stripped of her magic after an attack by a dark fey, she sings in the chorus at the Paris Opera House. Desperate to reclaim what was stolen, she risks one final spell—and fails.
But something unexpected responds.
Erik is a dark fey, born human but cursed to exist as a masked phantom of the shadows. His only hope of regaining his humanity lies in a forgotten spell, one only a witch like Christine can sing. He offers her a bargain: he will restore her magic, and in return, she will give him back his humanity.
As their fates entwine beneath the opera’s glittering halls, desires and danger blur—and the price of magic may be far more than either of them is willing to pay.
A lush romantic retelling with a love triangle, redemption arc, and feisty female main character. Standalone. Based on the original Leroux novel.

The History of the South Mountain Restoration Center, 1901 – 2001
Pennsylvania Historical and Museum Commission, May 2001
I wrote this book for the centennial celebration of the Restoration Center in 2001. It is a remarkable organization located in a striking setting. I had worked there during summers and semester breaks while in college, and it was an honor to be asked to write the first book-length history.
This book is currently out of print. In the past, people have charged as much as $230 on Amazon for a copy of this book. As much as I love my book, it’s not worth that much! From time to time I get extra copies to sell for $20. If you have any questions about purchasing this book, please contact me.
