Yes, that really is me.

NEWS!

Big news everyone! I know you may have thought I abandon you, but perish the thought. I (at my wife's insistence, thank you honey) have enrolled back into college. I am currently enrolled at IUPUI Indianapolis and I am taking a class on XHTML and CSS, so look forward to big changes to this site. I am also taking a couple of geology courses, who knew you could get paid for what I have done every weekend since I was six? So I have decided to become an Environmental Geologist (still working on the exact specialization, no hurry, but I am big on environmental restoration). So please bear with me, I have not given up on my writing and will be posting some new material shortly.

Also, Mayor Quillhorn of Avisville heard I was taking some web programming classes and has asked me to help set up the www.avisville.us website. Very exciting, so I hope to get plenty of updates to that site in the next several weeks.

Big changes are coming, and I hope they are worth the wait, so thanks for continuing to check on me.

Welcome!

I'm glad you stopped by my website. Please feel free to browse around and get to know more about me, my books, and my stories.

Even though I have enjoyed creative writing all my life, I am a new writer and not yet published (hint), living in the beautiful State of Indiana. I am fairly eclectic in my short story writing, but my novel writing is geared towards the eco-thriller category (don't groan and head for Stumbleupon.com just yet). When I say eco-thriller, I simply mean a thriller novel that features an ecological aspect or twist.

Now, I am NOT one of the tree-hugging, Birkenstock-wearing, hippy types (nothing wrong with that, I once owned a pair of Birkenstocks and I have been known to hug a tree or two.) But I want my novels to be thrilling and at the same time thought-provoking. You may even find them a little disturbing, which is even better, as long as you don't find me a little disturbing.

So kick off your shoes (or Birkenstocks), sit back, and have a look at what I offer. If you feel particularly moved by something, click on the Contact Me link and drop me a line. I will always be glad to hear what you did, or didn't like. I take criticism well, good or bad I see all criticism as constructive.

Without wax,
