About the author

I was raised in upstate New York, the seventh of nine boys. I started writing a few years ago, picking up where I had left off in college. My primary job is performing surgery, a general surgeon in Houston, TX; writing is a passion, but with the changes in health care may take center stage.
I hope you enjoy my futuristic novels, "Future Hope" and "Joshua and Aaron",both are populated with a colorful crew of characters: horseplayers, scientists, talented jet pilots, and others that will keep you glued to the page until the end.
And, there are two books I've written about surgery "Behind the Mask" and "Under the Drapes", which bring the reader into the world of surgery and into a surgeon's (often bizarre) mind.
Finally, look for the release of "Minotaur Revisited" an entertaining romp through history with the famed Minotaur of Greek Mythology.
