In a town hidden among ancient redwoods, monsters aren’t what you think they are.
When former Navy investigator and wolf shifter Cree Wilson returns home to the quiet community of Sekoia, she expects little more than lost hikers, petty disputes, and long nights of patrol. What she finds instead is a shattered family, four children hiding in the forest, and a truth the shifter councils would rather bury.
Hunted for what they are, the Buck children have survived the unthinkable—guided by their eldest brother’s fierce determination and the land itself. As Cree shelters them, Sekoia begins to close ranks, revealing a town built not on bloodlines or pack politics, but on loyalty, courage, and choice.
When hired hunters arrive to finish what was started, the community must decide where justice truly lies: with distant councils that value secrecy—or with the people willing to stand in the street and say no.
Sekoia Shifters is a powerful urban fantasy about found family, moral courage, and what happens when a town decides to protect its own—no matter the cost.
“This story pulled me in right away. Cree returning home expecting peace but finding something much darker was a great setup. The Buck children's survival story was emotional and powerful, and the sense of found family in Sekoia made this unforgettable.”
D.A. Goodreads reviewer
Writer of Fantasy, Shifters, Apocalyptic, Space Fiction
I write stories for readers who love adventure, survival, transformation, and hope — no matter the world the story takes place in. My books span fantasy, science fiction, apocalyptic and end‑of‑the‑world stories, shifter tales, and young adult adventures. What connects them all is a focus on characters pushed to their limits, unexpected bonds, and the choices people make when the rules of their world change — or disappear entirely. Whatever the genre my stories fall into, my goal is always the same: to tell immersive, emotionally grounded stories where courage, loyalty, and resilience matter. Living in the Southwest, I continue to write stories that blend imagination with realism, danger with hope, and adventure with heart.
