Real Calls. Darker Stories.
Retired Deputy • Novelist • Filmmaker
For fifteen years, Ernest Serrano wore a deputy sheriff’s badge. He answered the calls, worked the scenes, and saw the side of people most never do. Today he turns that experience into supernatural crime thrillers: stories that start with real police work, then cross into something darker. Through Serrano Studios, he also writes and directs independent films.
Behind the Books
What readers can expect from every Ernest Serrano story
THE BADGE
Fifteen Years on the Job
The procedures, the partners, and the pressure come from real patrol and investigative work, not from what TV gets wrong.
THE VALLEY
Real Places
Several stories are set in Fresno and the Central Valley, on streets and in towns Ernest knows firsthand.
THE UNEXPLAINED
Where It Turns Dark
Every story begins as a police case, then crosses into something the academy never trained anyone for.
