Greetings! I'm a New Mexico native, writer, and sometimes musician, living in the mountains where I love gazing at the stars at night. I've been writing science fiction and fantasy since (oh, dear!) the 1980s.  Welcome to my site, where I hope you'll find something to amuse, and perhaps even surprise you.

It's the Autumn Equinox.  Six months from now, at the Spring Equinox, my new fantasy novel will be launched.  In honor of that, I'm posting a free read today:  my short story "Kind Hunter," which was the spark that led to my writing the novel.  Enjoy!

I've sold a short story to Renard's Menagerie.  This is the first of the Leon stories, for those who might have heard me read them.  Leon's a favorite of mine, so I'm delighted he'll be appearing in print.
