“Imagination will often carry us to worlds that never were, but without it we go nowhere.” 

Carl Sagan

I’m on a mission to put the “sci” back in sci-fi, using today’s science to explore tomorrow’s society. Environmental themes course through all of my stories, taking the classic narrative conflict of “Human vs. Nature” a step further. But “Human vs. What Humans Have Done To Nature, And By Extension To Themselves” isn’t terribly catchy. Cli-fi? Speculative fiction? Eco-fiction? Whatever you call it, it’s rapidly moving into the non-fiction section. But plucky characters give me hope that the future isn’t completely lost.

What you can expect from my stories:

• SOUND SCIENCE. I conduct extensive research to build my future worlds on plausible foundations. Writing science fiction is a terrific excuse for me to learn new things; I hope to pique your curiosity, too.
• PAGE-TURNING PLOTS. I like stories that grab me from the first sequence, and plots with more twists than a DNA double helix.
• COMPLEX FEMALE CHARACTERS. These were lamentably absent from much of the sci-fi available in my youth, so I vowed to change that with my own stories. I strive to make all my characters interesting, of course, but I pay particular attention to dismantling gender stereotypes.
• DIVERSE CASTS. Because no matter what other demographics we claim, we’re all Earthlings, sharing this planet and its problems (and hopefully some solutions, too).
• NO GRAPHIC SEXUAL EXPLOITATION. There’s enough of that garbage in society without putting it in my books. Slow-burn ships are way more fun, anyway!
