I am a native of the San Francisco Bay Area. I was born and raised in this region, unlike most other citizens of the Bay Area who are from another state or another country. I am a veteran of the punk/metal/new wave/oh-my-God-what-did-we-do-last-night club scenes of the San Francisco Bay Area in the Eighties and the early Nineties. I run marathons, I write novels, I meow back at cats and say hi to strange dogs that I meet. I am also a web applications engineer and a dedicated worker bee for the Oakland Athletics.

Write all of the time, even if you're uninspired, even if you're tired and just want to play video games. There's a myth that only inspired writing is good writing. When writing some of my novels, I forced myself to do a certain amount of words every day, and some of my best writing came about when I was drudging and sludging my way through it, when the video games and lazy books were calling me.(less)

Crash Shadow ended on a cliffhanger, and I am duty bound to write a sequel.

I am also working on a rewrite of a play I drafted several years ago called Room for Cream, which features characters from my novels.(less)
