Bibliography

"Sky Carver," my first novel, was published by Clarion Press in 2005. "Raven," which takes place in the same world, was published in 2007. The third book in the series, tentatively titled "Fireboy," will be published in 2010. "Sky Carver,""Raven," and "Fireboy" are teen fantasies, aimed at kids in fifth to ninth grade. (Older kids and adults will enjoy it, too, if they can relax about reading "younger" literature.)

My first published short story, "The Million Dollar Wound," appeared in the January 1987 issue of the Magazine of Fantasy & Science Fiction. It was reprinted in the anthology The Year's Best Science Fiction, Fifth Annual Collection, edited by Gardner Dozois, St. Martin's Press, 1988.

My most recently published short story, "Waiting for the Girl from California," was included in the anthology The Touch, conceived by Steven-Elliot Altman, edited by Patrick Merla, and published by iBooks in 2000. It was re-released in a mass paperback edition in 2003. The Touch is a Write Aid literary work; the authors donated their works and the publisher donated profits to fund research into cures for AIDS and cancer.

My short stories are all aimed at an adult readership. They include:

"Containment," Aboriginal Science Fiction, Feb./Mar. 1987

"Starkers" is a combination fantasy, farce, romance, and political satire with a definite skew to the left.
