Surviving the catastrophic great cascadia quake of 2014 that decimated the Pacific Northwest, young Morrow is thrust into leading a fledgling band of fighters caught between a brutally dictatorial New Cascadia Republic, a mysterious oligarch and his band of dark mercenaries bent on reshaping the city in his image. Will Morrow and his resistance fighters wrest control from the forces vying for Portland and will they be able to stop the ominous weapon under construction beneath the crumbling Marquam bridge? Not your typical dystopian story, Blueback is a tale of hope, freedom and the undeniable drive to make the impossible possible.
Having grown up in the inter-mountain west, I am greatly influenced by the collision of rural and urban, both cultural and geographic. Mythology and archetypes also figure greatly in my work. I bloomed late in writing and made one promise to myself: I write stories I would like to read.
