Hello!I started writing to entertain myself. I like gritty stories. Stories that could be based in reality. The stuff I like is written in a way that grabs me by the booboo and is hard to shake. I wrote The Lying Spiral, a gritty mystery novel that's got more twists than a spiral staircase piled high with coffee-stained case files. I live for crafting complex characters and heart-pounding suspense that keeps you flipping pages until the very last reveal.But I don't just stick to novels. Over on Medium, I'm slinging hot takes like a caffeinated carnival barker, diving headfirst into everything from the electric rush of sports to the messy layers of social issues and cultural vibes. Love letter to life's little moments, brewed with passion and a knack for making the ordinary feel epic.On my Substack, Craig's Mind Express, I squeeze thoughts out of my brain. I arrange them so my readers can ride along with my real reflections and commentary. My articles are on You Tube with my voice over. Give it a listen. Let me entertain you!
