News:

I’ve finished Seek the Monster. Another book is chattering away in my head. Currently it has a really stupid working title, but it's inspiring a great deal of thought. I'm doing what I'll call "research" but it is in no way methodical. I meander through nonfiction books, encyclopedias, web sites, and picking up cues from nature and random moments in living. It starts with one scene, and at around thirty pages, I had to many questions about setting, culture, and characters. This is enough to play with. 

And I am grateful!

About Me:

I am a writer. Though I read quite a lot of mystery fiction, I am most comfortable writing fantasy fiction, . Currently I only have two short stories published, but I have finished eight drafts for novels, and am working to improve on my craft.

The stories are allegorical adventures set on the planet Ihyel. I have been building this world since high school, when I wrote my first novel. My Apology was written on a Kaypro, and subsequent moves I lost most of the novel. I learned quite a lot while writing that first novel. The language for the deeper philosophical underpinnings of the world is Geberesh. It pops in various places in some of the books. Geberesh is a glossopoeia (or conlang) that helps me explore a philosophy of perception that is echoed in all of the works of the Ihyel.

I live in North Georgia, and fit writing in with a random schedule that involves kids, cats, freelance editing, and an an exceedingly part time sales job.
