Shadows Under Ice Has Arrived

There are moments you've imagined for so long that they almost don't feel real when they finally happen.


Today is one of those moments.


After more than a year of writing, rewriting, editing, and refining, I'm incredibly excited to finally share Shadows Under Ice, the first novel in the Stoneveil Mystery series.


This story has been with me for a long time. What began as an idea gradually grew into a world filled with unforgettable characters, hidden secrets, and a mystery that challenged me to make every clue matter. Along the way, the manuscript went through countless revisions, benefited from invaluable feedback from beta readers, and became a much stronger novel because of the people who helped shape it.


Stoneveil is a quiet mountain town tucked beneath snow-covered peaks. It's the kind of place where everyone knows everyone—or at least they think they do. When a young man's body is discovered beneath the thawing ice, former homicide detective Galen Voss is drawn into an investigation that uncovers secrets someone has spent years trying to bury.


If you enjoy atmospheric mysteries, layered characters, and investigations where every clue matters, I hope you'll feel right at home in Stoneveil.


This is only the beginning. Shadows Under Ice is the first novel in the Stoneveil Mystery series, and I already have many more stories planned for Galen Voss and the town of Stoneveil.


To everyone who supported me over the past year—my family, my beta readers, and everyone who encouraged me throughout this journey—thank you. Your feedback, patience, and support helped transform an idea into the novel you can read today.


I hope you enjoy your first visit.


Welcome to Stoneveil.
