Audiobook Sample, Author Services, and More

My first published novel, The Founding Syndicate, offers a blueprint for authors who want to reclaim creative control. From storycraft to marketing, it shows how writers can take bold ownership of their voice, message, and audience. Scroll down to explore how I built it and how I now help others do the same.

Audiobook Production

The audiobook was produced entirely in-studio using professional narration tools, cinematic sound design, and original noir-inspired musical themes. It is immersive, deliberate, and independent to the core. If you are ready to create something this sharp and personal, I can help you make it happen.

Marketing Strategy

The Founding Syndicate isn’t just a novel . . . it’s a signal flare. To get it heard, I built a grassroots campaign from scratch: radio interviews, podcast features, and QR-coded bookmarks dropped like clues across the Midwest. It’s a blueprint for authors who want to bypass gatekeepers and build buzz their own way. (And yes, I can help you chart that path too.)

Editorial Sharpening

The Founding Syndicate didn’t hit the page fully formed. It was forged, draft by draft, until every line carried weight. I cut bloat, sharpened dialogue, tightened scenes, and let the voice lead. It’s the same process I bring to every author I work with: not just polishing your prose, but revealing its power. (If you’ve got a draft with potential, I’ll help you turn it into a weapon.)
