Writing great stories has been a passion of mine since grade school, and in recent years I have worked hard to turn that passion into a reality. My current speculative fiction project has the working title of The Elarra Solstice. After completing three full-length manuscripts over the course of a decade, and going through several drafts, I am in the stages of final revision. Thanks to a great editor at NY Book Editors, who has provided invaluable assistance the last 3 years, I’m finally to the point of getting Book 1 ready for readers and submission for publication.

“Your work is going to fill a large part of your life, and the only way to be truly satisfied is to do what you believe is great work. And the only way to do great work is to love what you do. If you haven’t found it yet, keep looking. Don’t settle. As with all matters of the heart, you’ll know it when you find it.”
– Steve Jobs
