Way back in the fall of 2016 I published my first ever novel, Cedar Valley. CV truly has my heart as it was my first real birth of creativity—the first tangible proof that maybe I really could do this thing. I was still drinking when I wrote it and it certainly comes out in the characters. A dark tale for a dark time in my life. It tells a story set in a not-so-distant future where overpopulation has come to a breaking point. Societies agree on a drastic solution: when a child turns twenty-five they must kill their own parents. For most, this horrific sacrifice is a life-long struggle, however for our villain, Ari, it is an awakening. Ari sets off on a bloody killing spree that terrorizes the city of Cedar Valley. Peter Holloway, a young cop just shy of his own quarter century, is tasked with catching Ari. But there’s one problem: Peter doesn’t think he can go through with killing his parents—understandably, of course. But as death presses in on every side of him, Peter must make a choice: save the city or his parents from slaughter.
