Welcome to my little piece of cyberspace.

I'm a technical writer, sometime computer programmer, and author of several published short stories as well as four as-yet unpublished novels. Some of what I write is science fiction, and some of what I write is just strange. One of my stories, "All Our Sins Forgotten," was adapted in 1998 into an episode of the Sci-fi Channel's series Welcome to Paradox.

After many years (but not quite not 15 as the blurb inside would have it) Asimov's Science Fiction Magazine has seen fit to grace its pages with a story of mine: "The Kewlest Thing of All." You can find it in the March, 2006 issue of the magazine. And more recently, my story "Dr. Abernathy's Dream Theater" was published in the May, 2007 issue of Interzone

Below is a picture of me with my cat, Quincey. Quincey fetches, bites, and serves me as a constant source of inspiration. Note also the alternative newsweekly I'm holding, to establish my credentials as an Artist.
