From the very beginning my writing has been an exploration of a passion.  I began by creating short stories and monographs about story lines and subjects that interested me.  Studying the craft at writer's conference workshops and reading dozens of "how-to" books, I slowly began to grasp the subtleties and nuances that set the serious writer apart from those who see only the mechanical aspect of writing.  It was after I’d finished the first chapter of the first book I attempted to write that I sensed the wondrous depth of my muse’s reservoir.  And by the time I’d finished that manuscript I knew I had an incredible journey ahead of me as I dove into the depths of that strange and fantastic world.  Listed to the right are the titles of the books I’ve been led to create.  They range widely from the serious to the whimsical, from the farcical to the brutal.  If you’re simply browsing out of curiosity I hope you leave in wonder.  If you’re an agent or publisher searching for a new writer, please read the excerpts closely, and imagine what the rest of each story could offer.  Regardless of your motive, welcome, and enjoy yourself while you’re here.
