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 (2014), My Summer (with Robots) (2018), and My Summer (Under a Crescent Moon) (2021).
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 for which I created an educational website for teens called the Oceanscape Network. After a decade with the aquarium, I was laid off in June 2020 due to the COVID-19 closure of the facility. But every cloud can have a silver lining I guess, as I now work for Multnomah County Public Library System creating storytelling videos and similar digital resources. As you can imagine, this new job is a wonderful fit for an author and book lover like me!
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!
