About this author

I live in Southern California but still consider myself part Texan by birthright. I was born in Houston and grew up in Dallas. I’ve resided in California since the mid 1980’s but get back to Texas as much as possible. My first two published novels—GARGOYLES and THE UNNATURAL are biomedical thrillers. Actually THE UNNATURAL could also fall into the horror genre as it is a pretty bizarre tale. BARBARY POINT is a love story about a successful young woman who falls in love with a fishing guide. It was written on a suggestion from a former agent.

I have several other projects in the works. HEMLOCK POND is a horror story about a young woman and her son who move into a farmhouse with a haunted pond.

GIRL BLUE, another pretty bizarre story, is about...more


Smilodons, vicious and brutal predators, roamed the earth for hundreds of thousands of years. Then they vanished during the last ice age. Now one is back!

“Mitch was afraid for my feelings and this made me uncomfortable.
"Just spit it out, Mitch," I said a little too abruptly.
Mitch shrugged reluctantly. "Gene's third request was that if I ever met his daughter, I should tell her that her daddy never stopped loving her. Ever."
"Shit," I gasped, and looked down at Sam.
I barely heard Mitch offer, "I'll take you back.”
Alan Nayes, Barbary Point

“A part of me will always be joined to a part of you. I can feel it. And it feels so damn good. Don't ever let go of me, Kelly English."
"I didn't let go, Mitch," I say aloud. "And it still feels damn good.”
Alan Nayes, Barbary Point

My interests have a tendency of doing that, ranging widely from one another. But I'll tell you why I'm picking them up:

Barbary Point got good reviews from someone I know, it was recommended. I know the location the book's taking place so that caught my interest as well as the plot and the line, "that one magical week in May on the shores of Lake Winnebago when the ducklings hatch and the walleye run." caught my attention. I want to see your writing, how your words flow, your idiosyncrasy.

As for Girl Blue, I especially love and am intrigued by the plotline. A sculptor: an artist, that's always intriguing, a witch who's been wronged and has done wrong thereby encasing her soul in a block of granite. I've been called in by the horror aspect, the possible romance, the betrayal aspect, and the questions, the mystery. I have a lot of questions as to what happened or will happen, hence it's best to read the book and douse my flames of curiosity. Too many unanswered questions are popping up and I'm over-contemplating; I want to read this and soon.
