I have been writing since grade school, majored in creative writing at Northeastern. I love it; it is my salvation—not so much publishing. I write what I would like to read, a story that needs to be told, not what necessarily sells. Covenant of Blood has been haunting me for years but I never thought I could pull it off—I hope I have. It is an important story for anyone interested in the American Experience from the beginning that forged my country.

Planet Janie is a fun book based on the idea that it is the tiny critters in our microbiome, our mortal coil, that run the show for their own purpose. We are just vessels to keep them warm and well fed while they use our bodies to facilitate a return to their home in the stars. Still, the story has a deeper meaning beyond the fantasy.
