Welcome and thanks for dropping into my website. My goal is simple — to write entertaining and meaningful stories for people. Those stories can take place on other planets, in other realms or in our world. I write fantasy, science fiction and general lit. Oh, and I do some painting and illustrating.

I’ve worked a lot of jobs in my life and I’ve encountered a lot of people coming from all sorts of experiences and situations. I was a journalist for a decent stretch of time and I covered business and a variety of other beats that brought me face to face with rich and powerful and the not so rich and powerful. I’ve worked research and tech jobs that took me into people’s homes from Nevada to Maine. I worked in an industrial bakery where we turned out thousands of pounds of bread a night. I did short jobs in construction and restaurants and have worked a great deal of retail. I also earned a degree in history. All this adds up to experiences with people that helps inform my writing.

It is important to me to reflect the truth of the human condition whether it’s fiction or nonfiction. I do also think that truth should include some humor and a lot of questions about different social, economic and political structures we’ve developed over the centuries and what that could mean for individuals now and in the future.
