My friends and family have accused me of being an arrested adolescent, and this is probably self-evident if you've spent any time browsing this website.
I have always been fascinated with the fantastic and the mysterious — and with telling stories through both words and images. When I was a child, I drew my own comic books and created animated films with my Star Wars action figures and an old 8mm camera. Today I write books — both the paper kind and virtual kind!
After years of work, I fulfilled a lifelong dream in 2013 with the publication of my first young adult novel, His Life Abiding. Since then, I've added The Men in the Trees and My Summer (with Robots) to my author's list.
About fifteen years ago, I became interested in creating web-based stories and resources for youth. This new venture culminated in a job with the renowned Oregon Coast Aquarium. I spent the next ten years building and administering a large educational website for teens called the Oceanscape Network which combined articles, videos, photo features and virtual explorations of the world's ocean. When the aquarium was closed due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the job I loved went with it.
Like so many of us, I suddenly found myself with a lot of spare time on my hands. I've used much of it to complete work on my fourth novel, My Summer (Under a Crescent Moon), the sequel to My Summer (with Robots). This new book will be published in 2021.
Unemployment also gave me the chance to relaunch my YA web book, Dark & Fevered Dreams (DAFD). Because of the internet's dynamic nature, DAFD provides readers with a much deeper immersion into a serialized story line. Written features are supplemented with detailed graphics, original illustrations and dynamic videos. Supportive features let you delve into the characters' backstories and relationships, visit various location pertinent to the story, or gather clues about present or upcoming mysteries. Best of all, DAFD is absolutely FREE!
In my spare time — and when pandemics allow it — I can be found wandering the aisles of book stores and comic book shops, playing a spirited round of Dungeons & Dragons with friends and family members, or exploring Oregon's back roads. Along the way, hopefully I'll find the inspiration for my next story or artistic creation.
If you're inclined, please follow me on Twitter or Instagram; or see my Author's Pages on both Amazon and Goodreads. These are also excellent places to get updates on my websites and writing projects.
Take care and thanks for visiting!
