More About the Author

I write books across a lot of different genres and styles. I've got some sci-fi, some mystery, some satire, some young adult, a little kids' book, and some just plain old-fashioned stories. Most are short and easy to read, are sometimes funny and often feature unexpected endings.

Some of my books are related to each other, sharing characters, locales and plots.

Snapdragon Alley, Freak City and Dragon Town comprise "The Dragon City Trilogy"

The "All Geeked Up" collection includes World Weary Avengers, Ledman Pickup, and In Constant Contact

"The Secret Trilogy" is 'Chaos Fiction' and includes Squatter with a Lexus, Secret Sidewalk, and Hidden Highway

"Rays and Nights" is a collection of cross-genre stories that share certain characters, and includes the faux-horror Zombie Nights, the sci-fi Death Ray Butterfly and the coming-of age stories of Raisinheart

Fissure Monroe features the intrepid private eye, Dawn Debris.

Missy Tonight follows Orange Car with Stripes in these stories of Atheist Comic Sci-Fi Pulp Fiction.

Golden is a screenplay based on Time Zone. Jimmyland is a screenplay based on Phantom of the Mall.

Inspector Mole pops up all over the place.

If you like one, chances are you'll like another, and if you don't, well, thanks for giving it a try!

This is a strange story. It starts when a younger brother can't sleep and has the older brother take him to the secret sidewalk behind some bushes near the marina where they live with their mother. As I'm sure it is suppose to be, it is difficult to tell whether this is a real world in a fantasy story or a fantasy world imagined by the older brother to entertain the younger one. There are some interesting characters and stories in the secret world by the secret sidewalk. It was an entertaining story with flying people, invisible people, criminals, and even some sex. There were tribes that each had a specific job that in turn gave them superpowers. (For example, the Compost People can turn anything into super rich dirt, the Hosers have the power of tidiness and can compress themselves into tiny packages that fit into soda cans or other small containers, and the Mountaineers, have the power of magnetism so that they can make anyone do anything and are the most powerful of all the tribes.) Strange but entertaining and appealing in an odd way.

this reads like a series of short monologues, really. The writing isn't poor; the problem here is that it's just not compelling reading when someone is telling someone else *about* things endlessly, and we don't get to really experience anything happening.

One story melts into the next; some might enjoy this, but I found it extremely tedious. I wanted something to happen. I wanted someone to get to the point.

it's free, though, so you can't lose by trying it...and at least the grammar is correct and there aren't the nasty typos one usually finds in free books.
