Biography
I started writing stories when I was twelve and I can promise you I'm WAY better now. Nothing but continuous improvement. I'm like a little, one-man Toyota factory, only for novels. Since 6th grade . . .
. . . DC Comics published a couple of stories in the early 90s.
. . . Strange Horizons, Planetmag, Aphelion and a couple of other long-dead e-zines helped me out in 00s,
. . . along with The Misspellers and The Wrong Channel, both books for middle readers and the like.
. . . EDGE Science Fiction and Fantasy put out Cinco de Mayo, my first novel for adults, and finalist for the Alberta Reader’s choice Award. It was followed by The Milkman (which won an IPPY for best science fiction novel, and an Eric Hoffer finalist) and its sequel, The Link Boy.
. . . Our Little Secret Press recently published Untouchable, a cocktail of romance and crime with a dash of the weird.

A sequel to The Misspellers: Carlin and Jack are back. Mr. Bough is not. He’s never around when they need him. Holes flying in the night sky, a plot to bring dragons to Stawberry Island and that nagging feeling that the TV is watching you - this really is one of those summer evenings when they could use his help. Without him will they have to rely on Todd? An evil fairy? And that smell...

They should have known not to nose around. Outside, the house smelled of rotten cabbage, burnt onions and wet dogs. Inside, there was no phone, no television, not so much as a single electric light. Carlin and Jack didn’t like the place, but all they had to do was water plants while the owner was away. No one told them to discover the house’s biggest secret: science and magic don’t mix.
