“I grew up reading fantasy novels and comic books, where heroes battle evil at every turn, and I often wrote similar stories for fun. One day in 1993, I couldn’t find the right kind of fantasy story at the bookstore: I needed swords and sorcery, heroes and villains, and something with a kung fu flair to it as well. As a result, I sat down and got to work on my own story.

What started as a single Epic Fantasy tale ended up as five books in all, and then I shifted into writing an Urban Fantasy series set in Houston, Texas. I’ve found that if I have fun writing my stories, people have fun reading them.

Whether you’re an Epic Fantasy fan or prefer your magic and monsters in a more modern setting, I hope you enjoy my books!”
