ABOUT ME

Hi,

​

I am a generation x writer.  My first book Circe Syndrome was published in my late 40s. I started writing the novel to entertain myself while the challenges of my life were overwhelming. I was searching for stories that broke out of the ruts of common plots.  I am not sure I succeeded in doing this, but I have finished a few books which feature my sense of humor and daydreams.  I hope they entertain.   
 
My stories are rooted in the idea of “What if…”, they are character driven. You may notice nods to novels written in the past 60 years.  I am a fan of the genre, fantasy/sci-fi which I have read most of my life. I would say my influences are, Douglas Adams, Terry Pratchett, Sharon Shinn, Jasper Fforde, Anne McCaffrey, Neil Gaiman and Jane Austen. Yeah, I know Jane Austen is not fantasy or sci-fiction but her acceptance of who characters are and the humor of her writing can not be ignored.

 

If you have any questions send me a note.
