I write fiction. Neo-urban, mostly, with some science fiction, fantasy, and light horror to round things out—yeah, that stuff. My first published story was “Yet Another Reality,” which appeared in the March 1999 issue of Aphelion. I’ve since written dozens of short stories, novelettes, and novellas; a good many have been published in a variety of online and small press venues, such as: Anotherealm, Aphelion, Bewildering Stories, Deep Magic, Demensions (indeed, with an “e”), ShadowKeep, and Sword’s Edge. My novels include Time Chaser, The Knack, Stories from the Steel Garden, and Heroes’ Day.

Two unlikely candidates inspired my passion for writing: Star Trek (shudder) and Piers Anthony. The former I became obsessed with as a child—to the point of writing my own episodes on a scrappy 8.5×11 PenTab tablet; the latter I discovered when I was fourteen and had to do a book report for English class. Anthony’s Phthor had somehow made it onto the list of acceptable books, and I was thrilled with the dark, somber scenery of Chthon. It was around this time that I decided to seriously pursue writing as a part-time career (as opposed to just a hobby).
