I attended Texas State University where I studied graduate psychology.

Most recently, I was one of five finalists for the Brevard Library Foundation's Literary Award for my short story, "Winter Retrieval," now available at Amazon.

As we evolve, will we change all that much?
Nineteen-year-old June Merk is a 6th generation Martian. Her father George becomes trapped in a lanthanum mine while her stepmom Rona mysteriously disappears. Meanwhile, June discovers several evolutionary enhancements occurring with her quantum-computer processor. When the Earthens invade, can these enhancements save Mars?
