Boring Bio Below

Published book (yippee!) in 2015:
Book 1, Counting On You, is available in the Amazon Kindle Store. It has received several gracious reviews despite its omniscient POV, and that its genre is NA (New Adult) as opposed to YA (Young Adult).
For those who have requested clarification - NA concerns characters who are no longer teens, who are "out in the world" trying to make a life for themselves.  It is mostly Indie authors who advance this group of stories as a genre because of this defining merit.
 It is my first published novel; if you read it, be gentle with it.

Ritual Beatings (Book 2 in this thriller series about a forensic sciences major diagnosed with high-functioning autism spectrum disorder) is still living up to its title -- ritually beating my efforts to bring the edits and rewrites to a  published end. On hold while clarifying for tribal authentication.

I began working with an editor at Emerson College (January 2019) on my science fiction manuscript, Spooky Action at a Distance. It is mostly developmental editing, so it will be a while yet before it gets into the polishing stage.

Meanwhile, I had a spec fic short published in the inaugural online magazine www.endlessstarsmagazine.com which is an edited version of one of the stories I posted on this site a while back.
