Okay, now for the bio....
Many moons ago I was a scientist in a neuroscience lab where I got to play with brains and illegal drugs.
Now, I’m an award-winning indie author who turns wickedly strong tea into imaginative fiction (so, basically still playing with brains and drugs) that's often set in an altered version of my hometown -- Portland, Oregon -- or the Pacific Northwest.

The French version of A Nightmare Before Christmas.
Hello Bloglandia!Well, here we are, not even three weeks into September!

Is hilarious-horror + coming-of-age a genre? It is now thanks to this gobble-it-up novel. The basic premise: 13-year-old Madison has died of what she thinks is a marijuana overdose. And like pretty much everyone on the planet, she's been sent to hell ...more |

All I could imagine while reading this wholly enjoyable story is what a hullabaloo people would make about it now. I mean, come on, the kid basically adds every household toxin into a pot to make a "medicine" for his cantankerous grandmother. Not tha ...more |

“Personally, I thought it chancy to rely on only one god. It struck me as akin to placing all your drachars on one chariot at the races...It didn't seem logical that one god could ensure the proper working of the world.”
