I've been writing little things for myself and for my friends for ages, but it wasn't since 2006 that I started writing consistently.

Three of my screenplays have placed and even earned some prizes at various competitions. Credence Foundation, born as a screenplay, hence born visually, has been turned into a book. Hoping it sees the light as a Sci-Fi / Action movie one day, I've started expanding my stories in the many branches of Science Fiction.

Feel free to join me in this crazy journey through the mind, the subconscious, technology, and mankind's fears and hopes, of course.

A collection of short building on the elements of the author's novel Credence. The Re-Life company is in several stories. They can bring someone back to life at whatever age wanted using the Credence technology, they can renew a living person to a younger age or even an older one if so chosen.

We have machinery with A. I.s, everything from the apartment mailbox to the toaster in the kitchen. Even a bit of humor in some stories.

A half dozen stories; in one a private eye uses spiders as "bugs" in pursuit of his cases, a man who wants his beloved wife back, two stories with Jimmy Cricket, a salesman for Re-Life who makes two mistakes that he must resolve if he wants to keep his job.

Had a lot of fun with these six longish tales.
