About the author

By education I'm a Nuclear and Materials Engineer. By day I work with high power lasers and try to destroy our customers things. By night I'm a husband and father of four. In my spare time (whatever that is) I'm a writer of SciFi action and Fantasy books.

I have two short stories published in an Anthology titled "Tales from the Locals", a compilation of stories from local writers.

My first book, Amara's Law: Blood Tech is published in print on Amazon and the eBook is available through all all major ebook distributors. The second book, Hybrid Tech will be coming out Fall 2021! Ideally this will be followed with by a third book which is not of the same genre, the working title is "The Tooth Fairy Chronicles: Sleep is Overrated". It's a Fairy Tale/Mystery mashup. The Third book in the Amara's Law trilogy, Parasite Tech, will follow.

Reviews

[Kristi · Rating 4 out of 5]

This is a slim self-published volume of short fiction and narrative nonfiction written by authors local to the Merrimack Valley region of Massachusetts. The pieces range from realistic narratives often ending in a dark or thought-provoking twists to more fantastical sci-fi contributions. Given the title and the place-based cover art, I was anticipating that more of the stories would have a discernible local setting, but only one was distinctly regional, and all had a broader universal appeal. Less than fifty pages, this book can be read in one sitting.
