READING & WRITING

For nearly half my life, I’ve worked at the farthest end of the literary supply chain—in bookstores and libraries. I’ve been an avid if not always rapid reader since I was five years old, and I’ve been writing for almost as long. If I could make a career out of writing, I would.

	The Atalan Cycle Where does history end and mythology begin? …
	The Galactic Chronicles … an adventure that spans the galaxy itself …
	The Histories of the Third Millennium … my sprawling epic of future history …
	The Transhuman Protocols After the technological singularity, life goes on …
	Untitled Alien Invasions Yes, it’s been done before …
	Vanity City … my answer to the artificial-reality question …

Fiction

Science fiction is my preferred genre. Not only does it allow the writer to speculate about future civilizations or alien planets but also to explore the human condition in ways not possible with conventional fiction. Of course, it can also be very entertaining!

Nonfiction

My nonfiction works are mostly papers I wrote as part of my undergraduate studies in college. However, they continue to generate much of the traffic on this site.
