Biography

My epic novel set in medieval Spain, SEVEN NOBLE KNIGHTS, will be republished by Encircle Publications in December 2020, and my urban fantasy AWASH IN TALENT was published by Kindle Publishing in 2016. I’ve published novellas, short stories, and poetry in many venues. I’m also an exacting editor who prefers historical and literary novels with a flair for fantasy. In times long ago but not forgotten, I worked as a librarian and a Spanish teacher.

  • Jake's Monthly- Magic Realism Anthology on Aug. 29, 2012

    All the stories here are worthwhile, even if I wasn't sure they all qualified as magical realism as I understand it. I'm an author included in the anthology, so I'm glad to be in good company!
