I have enjoyed writing since I was ten. Wrote my first fantasy novella; The Conrad in high school. Back then, didn’t know about writer’s groups, clubs or any sources of support or help other than Creative Writing classes at schools. I wasn’t a natural talent. To pay the bills, I entered the field of healthcare and worked for almost thirty-nine years; the last seven as an MSN Cardiology NP, though I still dabbled at story telling as a hobby.

2015, I retired and delved more full time into fiction-writing, learning its current craft and techniques.

2018, Completed 900 page off-world para-venture novel Anthar, Phaeno and the Otherworld; Book IV of my planned O-World series.

2019, Wrote Book III of my O-World series, The Emissary and The Otherworld for the year’s NANOWRIMO challenge; a 54,000-word novella that I have since expanded and refined upon.

2020’s NANOWRIMO. Working backwards in my O-World series, wrote Part 1 for Book I, The Glass Canyon and the Otherworld; 62,000-words. This is the Origin Story for O-World..

2021’s NANOWRIMO, wrote The Glass Canyon Part 2, for Book I; 50,129 words.

2022—2023: Currently writing; Part 3 for Book I and storyboarding prep for Book II, The Mentor and the Otherworld. Also story-board outlined and started writing. The Pisces; a new project about a free-diving sportsman.
