About the Author
Although I worked as a physicist and program manager for many years, I’ve always had a taste for reading and writing fiction, and for creating new worlds and characters.
My work will span genres and time periods. The Boy Who Ran, my first book, is a Middle Grade novel set in 4000BC, while my second book, The Balance, was written to include a young adult audience and is set in the future. Other works to come soon will include a science fiction novel and a supernatural thriller set in Rome, Southern France, and Baltimore, Maryland. I live in Woodland Park Colorado now—since 2013—where I’ve settled to write full time.
