I’ve been writing stories since childhood, but it took me 40 years to publish my highly acclaimed debut novel, Renaissance Mann. That journey taught me something profound: every struggle, every setback, and every triumph carries within it the seeds of a greater story. My next book, Mr. Territaff: Dark Matters, continues that unfolding journey, one that reflects both the chaos of our world and the possibility of transformation.

I write science fiction because it allows me to explore the deepest questions of the human spirit through alien eyes and distant worlds. Within my stories, heroes wrestle with violence, injustice, and despair, yet they also embody our timeless search for peace, meaning, and harmony. To me, these are not just tales of survival, but of awakening reminders that even in the darkest places, light can be found.

Writing saved me through a difficult childhood, a broken marriage, and even cancer. It became a way to connect with something greater, to channel both pain and wonder into worlds that inspire. My hope is that when you step into my books, you don’t just journey to strange and exotic places, you feel a spark of your own inner universe coming alive.
