Both of my first 2 science fiction novels are out of print, however, my first novel, The Alien Within is being revised and will be available soon, probably as an e-Book.

In progress: Bloodlines, a science fiction novel about an emperor, an assassin, and a vampire. Keep your eyes open for this one; it's good!  An aside about Bloodlines ... my agent actually told me not to write vampire stories.  What was I trying to do, he asked, "be like Ann Rice?" (Well, duh, er, yes!)  Go figure.  Oh well, he's no longer my agent.  Not because of this comment, but because he sold two of my stories to a publisher in Russia (and I suspect one in GB as well) -- and then kept the money. I never would have known if I hadn't received fan letters from a couple of people from those countries.  I guess he didn't think I'd find out ... he's a technophobe and not online. Enough about him!

Also coming is The Pirates Lady ... that's right, a sleazy romance! I wrote this story when I was 16 but it's held up well through all those l-o-n-g years!  I like this one; it's a lot of fun.

I also have pieces here and there in anthologies, and I'm finishing up a dictionary.

FINISHED
What is it?  Space Opera, aliens, romance, adventure, volcanoes, earthquakes, master minds, evil bad guys.
(Yeah, that's right, evil. And wouldn't you know, when I sent it out, one editor snipped "your bad guys are too bad, you know, unrealistic, like Klingons or Nazis."  I never quite understood what she meant.  Nazis?  I hope she doesn't think they were fictional ... not with her family history!  And, I mean, bad guys are supposed to be bad, right?  Well, I hope she never reads Bloodlines ... evil doesn't begin to describe the bad guy in that book.  He's psychopathic.)

, 1988 - science fiction novel - out of print.
NOTE: The revised edition (better then ever and it was good to start with!) is in the works. It should be out as an eBook by late 2007.

Humm ... On re-reading it, it's really not as bad as I thought. Maybe I'll tweak it a bit and put it out as another eBook.  There are some good romantic elements here that I never had an opportunity to realize since, when I wrote it originally, I had to pretend there was no romance in it at all.
