About this author

I'm a reclusive late-blooming novelist trying to adjust to the semi-exposure of publication. It's sort of like the dream where you're naked in front of a room full of strangers. National Novel Writing Month kicked me over the border from logic- and fact-based nonfiction to fiction. It seems there was a well of creativity waiting to be tapped.

With three novels and two short stories published, plus a pile of WIPs demanding my attention, the well may turn into a gusher. A slow gusher, but I'm one of those people who never finishes a large project, so slow is good if it gets me to the finish line.


Camp NaNo is two and a half weeks away (June 1), and I still can’t decide whether to go for it. The revision of Gift of Blood, my very first novel, is coming along well, but there’s no way I can finish it before the camp starts.

“In a time of drastic change it is the learners who inherit the future. The learned usually find themselves equipped to live in a world that no longer exists.”
Eric Hoffer, Reflections on the Human Condition

“I live on Earth at present, and I don't know what I am.
I know that I am not a category. I am not a thing — a noun. I seem to be a verb, an evolutionary process — an integral function of the universe.”
― R. Buckminster Fuller

Ian McEwan
“Narrative tension is primarily about withholding information.”
Ian McEwan

“...the characters make it out alive, but at a terrible cost, usually by the skin of their teeth. I want to see what's at the core of them, and stripping them down to that core is rarely pleasant for them. But it does make them wiser, and often stronger people.”
― Alexandre Voinov
