edit data

I was born and raised in Tampa, Florida. I joined the Air Force, and my career took me from coast to coast before depositing me in the St. Louis, Missouri area for several years. After a tour in Korea and a short return to the St. Louis area, I retired and moved to the greater Denver, Colorado metropolitan area.
I write speculative fiction, mostly science fiction and fantasy. My favorite writers over the years have been Robert E. Howard, Philip K. Dick, Roger Zelazny, and Michael Crichton.

Burning Sands

I've launched the Burning Sands post-apocalyptic trilogy, with Beneath Burning Sands (also here).

Beneath Burning Sands is a SF suspense-thriller. As much as I love zombies, there aren't any. Also, the protagonist isn't a big, burly man armed to the teeth with assault weapons and an almost psychotic patriotic zeal. I hope you'll give it a try.

I loved post-apocalyptic fiction back when it was mor Read more of this blog post »

P.R. Adams liked Michael's review of Deep Descent (The Lancers #1): "Deep Descent is the kind of debut that makes you double-check the author’s name because it reads like a veteran’s best work. The writing is crisp, the world immersive, and the tension unrelenting. From the moment Chanda sets foot on the colony, you k" Read more of this review »

P.R. Adams liked David's review of Deep Descent (The Lancers #1): "Deep Descent is a stark, powerful vision of humanity on the edge.

I’m already missing the old team.” The road was still deserted. A line of amber lamps lit a towering wall that sealed off a maze of sagging, scarred apartment buildings to the southwest. To the northeast, the wall transformed into a security tunnel and disappeared under a sickly forest. Inside the complex, a dozen uniformed”
