In crafting novels and short stories, his works examine the human psyche in all its strength and frailty. Writing broadly across the science fiction, suspense, mystery, and horror genres, he’s unafraid to delve into any area of fiction. His works are the products of everyday occurrences as he sees wondrous stories within his own life and those around him. Favoring a swift pace, fully developed characters, profound description and thrilling action, his long and short works often end with a twist. He writes because he loves the process as it provides a certain release for him that nothing else can. In writing he’s able to transgress the limits of time and space to intermingle fact and fantasy and enter a realm where he is the creator.
