What's the story behind the story? What inspired you to write The Codex Arcanum 1888 (The Alchemical Chronicles Book 1)?
Late-Victorian London sits at a fault line between science and superstition, progress and unease. I was drawn to that tension, to the British Museum as a keeper of hidden knowledge, and to figures like Helena Blavatsky, who moved between scholarship and the esoteric. Clara Whitmore grew out of the question: what happens when an observant, intelligent woman stumbles into that world?
If you had to pick theme songs for the main characters of The Codex Arcanum 1888 (The Alchemical Chronicles Book 1), what would they be?
Clara: “Gnossienne No. 1” by Erik Satie — spare, inward, and quietly determined. Mary: “Dog Days Are Over” by Florence + The Machine — bright, curious, and lightly mischievous.
What's your favorite genre to read? Is it the same as your favorite genre to write?
Victorian fiction, alternative history, and thrillers. Yes, it is 🙂

A Gargoyle’s Guide to Murder by Gigi Pandian
The Science of Magic by Dean Radin, PhD

Do you have any quirky writing habits? (lucky mugs, cats on laps, etc.)
Watching the birds outside my office window while thinking through a scene.
Do you have a motto, quote, or philosophy you live by?
Stoicism, especially this line from Epictetus: “Make the best use of what is in your power, and take the rest as it happens.”
If you could choose one thing for readers to remember after reading your book, what would it be?
That history is stranger, deeper, and less settled than we like to believe.

What's the story behind the story? What inspired you to write The Crucible Principle?
This book came out of quiet pressure. Seasons where nothing was visibly broken, but something was slowly tightening underneath. I kept noticing how people I respected weren’t falling apart in obvious ways. They were just carrying more than anyone could see. This story grew out of that tension. The moments where life doesn’t explode, it just asks more of you than you planned to give.
If you had to pick theme songs for the main characters of The Crucible Principle, what would they be?
- Jackson — “Holocene” by Bon Iver
- Elias — “Quiet Reckoning”
- Father Ronan — “You Want It Darker” by Leonard Cohen / Motion Picture Soundtrack Reprise by Radiohead
What's your favorite genre to read? Is it the same as your favorite genre to write?
I’m drawn to literary fiction and narrative nonfiction that sit at the intersection of character, belief, and consequence. Books that explore leadership, faith, and identity without trying to resolve everything neatly. - That’s also where I write best. While the forms may differ, the intention is the same. I’m not interested in genre conventions as much as I am in telling stories that examine pressure, responsibility, and the quiet decisions that shape who someone becomes.
What books are on your TBR pile right now?
Leadership and Self-Deception by The Arbinger Institute, The Courage to Be Disliked by Ichiro Kishimi and Fumitake Koga - (RE-Read) - The Road Less Traveled by M. Scott Peck
What scene in your book was your favorite to write?
The quiet turning point—the moment where nothing dramatic happens on the outside, but everything changes internally. Those scenes feel the most honest to me.
Do you have any quirky writing habits? (lucky mugs, cats on laps, etc.)
Early mornings. Black coffee. Espresso at noon. Long pauses staring at nothing. I tend to walk away from the page when it gets uncomfortable. Walk the dog to clear my head. Then come back when I’m ready to be more honest.
Do you have a motto, quote, or philosophy you live by?
Adversity is not the enemy. It’s the assignment.
If you could choose one thing for readers to remember after reading your book, what would it be?
If life feels heavier than you expected, you’re not broken. You’re likely carrying something that matters. Growth usually feels like pressure long before it feels like clarity.
