From Losanti to the Lakeshore
If you've read short stories in my small corner of Vocal Media, you'll notice that I haven't been active in some time. However, I’m still very active in writing and authorship.

The Reunion
The bell rang for the final time. I was free, and we were free. My best friend Jesse and I already cleaned out our shared locker in preparation for this day. We spent the day having fun and chatting with the other boys, while our teachers kept us calm, but otherwise not much else. We were graduating seniors. Jesse and I were the first boys running out of Bishop McNamara High School.

The Journey to Make Me Free
My debut novel, Make Me Free, will be released in the first quarter of 2025. The sequel will also be published in the first half of this year. These two books will constitute the Losantiverse duology, a two-book contemporary fiction series. When that happens, I will officially be an independent literary fiction novelist.

Intervention. Top Story - October 2024.
A maxim I live by is to give people their flowers while they're still alive. One of the greatest influences I have had in my life was a man named Chris Hallam. "Hallam," as I knew him, offered friendship and guidance at a critical point in my life. His time and energy were more than I ever deserved.

She was attending along with other students from her large state university, who were members of a student organization called Christian Kingdom.

The Governor's Mansion
On a brisk autumn morning, the office of Schranke and Coates Architects, the most in-demand residential design firm in the Cincinnati Tri-State, was alight with activity. Two of their junior architects, Max and Hank, were sitting at their computers in the open-concept space.

Soulmate. Content Warning.
"Mandie, I'm just glad you're okay." A sigh came from the other end of the line. "Thanks, Brian. Me too." "Yeah, if you're out again and some creepy guy's bothering you, don't hesitate to call me. I will be there in a heartbeat and the guy will regret the day he was born."

The Birth of Celina Knight
I didn't ask to be born, but the government thought otherwise. My mother - my birth giver - left weeks after my birth. So, it was just Dad and me. He liked to drink but wasn't mean; he tolerated my existence.

The Tomahawk Steak Challenge
"Hello everyone, Kate here! Welcome to Kate Devours All!" Kate beamed as she began her day's content on YouTube. Between the camera and performer sat a large spread of broasted poultry, mashed potatoes, corn, and a huge cup of cola.
