Propensity Excerpts

I’ve recently released a new book, Propensity. In preparation for the audiobook version, I’ve assembled some material for PDF that doesn’t convey well in an audible format – this image, for example, from Chapter 43.

This image depicts a frantic ink sketch of a woman’s face, wide-eyed and stricken, as if caught in the instant her world unravels. Her features are carved from chaos—lines scribbled in anguish, as though the act of drawing itself were a desperate grasp for meaning.

The PDF is available for free on the dedicated Propensity page.

I’ll be posting content on Propensity as well as some of my other recent and upcoming releases presently.

Mallory’s Neighborhood

Except to make an outcall visit, Mallory doesn’t stray far from her home.

Kensington Ave is considered by many to be the largest outdoor drugs market in America. Before getting an apartment, Mallory lived on these streets. Many live there, still.

Besides her addiction, Mallory has three necessities in her life.

Mallory, A Quick Introduction

Podcast: Audio rendition of this page content

Mallory is the protagonist of my current novella.

No spoilers, but she is a twenty-something-year-old prostitute with an addiction and a thing for tarot.

Mallory is a loner with no illusions that she can overcome her addiction. She just wants to survive and get on with her life near Kensington Avenue in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.

She’s recently moved from being homeless on the streets into an apartment, but this comes at a price. Along the way, she meets an old high school acquaintance who wants to help her with her demons and track down the one who set her on this path.
