I love good stories, and sharing them. I've been reading a lot since I was a shy kid, growing up in a small literary town called Concord, Massachusetts. I was the kid sitting under a tree, head buried in a book. I read every hardcover and paperback I could get my hands on. It reminds me of a quote attributed to the young Abe Lincoln, "my best friend is the man who'll get me a book I ain't read."

A friend of my Mom gave me anthologies of Jules Verne and H.G. Wells when I was in the third grade. They encompassed the first adult narratives and science fiction I had read. They were hardcover, heavy, and I couldn't put them down…until I had to put them down, because they were heavy.

I tend to read and write in several genres, mostly science fiction/dystopian, adventure, thriller, and detective, but I've written stories that don't really fall into either of those categories, as in the war romance Accidental Exiles or the satire Lost Young Love.

In my work life I've been a trade newsletter publisher and a software engineer, as well as a landscaper and a really bad waiter. I've also written non-fiction books on fitness and software, including Fitness For Geeks.

I love to travel, which in a way is like immersing yourself, or creating, a new story. I prefer writing while staring at the woods or the mountains.
