I write mainly dark, disturbing, sometimes racy thrillers. My other novels are murder tales. Someone told me that "I write with a scalpel rather than a pen The pacing. The perversion. The no-BS delivery. It’s rare to find an author willing to lean fully into the darkness of power, seduction, and consequence the way you do, without softening the edges."

His debut novel, What Reads Us, is a psychological horror about guilt, grief, and a cursed book that might be reading you back. The story continues in What Guides Us, the chilling second installment in The Black Book Series, where haunted history and fractured memory collide.
Based in New York, Dennis lives under the watchful eyes of two small pugs, who serve as both muses and editorial tyrants. When he’s not writing, he can usually be found over-researching dark history for future stories, drinking too much coffee, and wondering whether anyone else hears the whispers behind the bookshelf.
