Fiction

My book

I've been writing speculative fiction (science fiction, fantasy, horror) since 1991. Much of my previously published short fiction is available in my book "The Speed of Darkness", available through Amazon or through CreateSpace.

My bio

My work has been published in ComputorEdge, D.C., Eclipse, Fiction Forum, Figment, Haunts, Lost Worlds, Medusa's Hairdo, MindFlights, Mystic Fiction, Next Phase, Once Upon A World, Outer Darkness, Skyline Voices, Sorcerous Magazine, Talers Tales, The Cosmic Unicorn, The Nocturnal Lyric, as well as the poetry anthology Once Upon A Midnight.

The awards I've won include:

First Prize for Fiction at the 1995 Skyline Writers' Conference with the story Flinging Down The Moon. Award-winning novelist Maureen McHugh was the contest judge.
First Prize for Science Fiction at the 1996 Skyline Writers' Conference with the story Cybernetic Angels. Novelist S. Andrew Swann (a.k.a. Steve Swiniarski) was the contest judge.
First Prize (tie) for the Pat Poling Memorial Award in 1998 with the story Blood Money.

I appear in the Locus Index to Science Fiction, and the Internet Speculative Fiction DataBase hosted by the Cushing Library Science Fiction and Fantasy Research Collection and Institute for Scientific Computation at Texas A&M University. Both of these databases seriously undercount the number of works I have had published.
