Thomas expected a scolding when he came home threadbare and carrying a rapier from the Royal Academy.
He didn't expect his father to throw him out of the house, or to meet a juggler who could create a ball of light from the air, or to learn that something in Bishop Malloy's voice made others do his bidding.
And he certainly wasn't expecting to be the only one who noticed it all.
Suddenly, Thomas is thrust into a nightmare of betrayal and murder, where a power he does not understand threatens all he has, and learning to master a power he did not know existed may be the only way he can survive.

"Small Magics is beguiling entertainment. Character motivations are understandable and compelling, whether they agree, conflict, or are in deadly combat... This is a good read."

In Progess
When Henry — youngest son of the Duke of Frostmire and Thomas's roommate —
is called home to fight raiders, Thomas expects to have a quiet year at
the Royal Academy.
Instead, Eileen arrives at his doorstep, having run away to come to the Academy, and Henry returns telling stories of an enemy that uses magic. Even as Thomas agrees to help, new threats rise around them, driving them from the city to face an unknown enemy in the north.
And the Church of the High Father has not forgiven them either.
The sequel to Small Magics, look for Cold Magics in the near future!

Stories
I don't write a lot of short stories. I prefer the longer form. But I do have a weakness for Christmas ghost stories (opens as .pdf):
Theatre
I love the theatre, but don't get to write for it very often. I've been working on adapting a 19th century novel for the stage for the past couple of years, but I haven't had the time to complete it. Still, I'll keep you posted.
