New SF/F crossover novel Stonelands releasing August 5, 2025.
Critically acclaimed and internationally bestselling author of Dragon's Trail and The New Magic at Oxblood Books. Full member of SFWA; WorldCon panelist and moderator; eligible for the 2017-2018 Campbell Award for Best New Author in SF/F; agented by Sarah Hershman at Hershman Rights Management, New York.
I'm a professional "Method Writer" (think "method actor"). From blacksmithing to BASE jumping, I've done most of my characters' stunts. I'm a retired Team Sergeant (SFC) in U.S. Special Operations, and have worked as a stuntman and high-rise window cleaner. I hold a B.A. in English with a dual emphasis in sociolinguistics and the philosophy of language.
Boxers over briefs. Maryanne over Ginger. Romeo & Julietas; Dominicans are fine. The keys to happiness and long life are to be found in high fiber, good Scotch, and redheads who belly laugh.
