A short story
While I'm working on book 2 in Sand Runner series, and revising book 1 in a middle-grade fantasy series, here is a teenage love story I wrote, set in a future shaped by 3D printing and telepresence technologies. It's called Look At Me and was published by Youth Imagination magazine. Check it out!

SAND RUNNER is out today! (June 2)
My first published novel! Today, I'm officially an indie author, and it feels great. Thank you to everyone who has read or is planning to read SAND RUNNER. I can't wait to hear from you.
And to those of you who asked about book 2: Yes, I'm writing it right now, and I hope to get it to my editor by the end of the summer, and publish it in the fall. Thanks for your support!
