To date, two of my novels have been commercially published, as well as one anthology, the details of which are presented below. Getting a novel published in today's market, my friends, isn't easy - yet I'm often approached by well-meaning folks who cheerfully ask, "When's your next novel coming out?"
Usually, I have to hurt them.
Fortunately for them (and for me), these days I can actually ANSWER that question: "April of 2011!" To find out more, check out "The Undertakers" page, one click up from this one, there on the left. Do it now! What are you waiting for? Why are you still reading this? Do it NOW!!!
Or, you could stay here and have a look at the OTHER books of mine that are out there. Either way, thanks for stopping by!
YESTERDAY, I WILL ... is an anthology released by Fortress Publishing in the Spring of 2009. The theme is time travel, in all its myriad forms, and I'm honored that my short story "Yesterday, I Will Remember Tomorrow" earned the Grand Master spot in this excellent collection of tales.
"Yesterday, I Will Remember Tomorrow" is the story of a young man who, due to a bizarre accident, finds himself traveling backward in time - his tomorrow is your yesterday.
If you're interested in acquiring a copy of this wonderful anthology, might I suggest contact Jim Lewin at The York Emporium, 343 Market Street in York, PA 17401. (717) 846-2866
PHOBOS is a science fiction/mystery that was published by Tor back in 2003. It received absolutely stellar reviews; Publisher's Weekly called it "a strong contender for SF debut of the year"!
It's basically a good-old-fashioned whodunit about a series of bizarre deaths at a research station on Mars' largest moon that may or may not be work of an indigenous monster. Lieutenant Michael Brogue is sent to Phobos to investigate, and quickly finds himself embroiled in deception, intrigue and danger of potentially catastrophic proportions.
For the record, I'm not wild about the cover ...
THE FRANKLIN AFFAIR is my first published novel, released in 2001 by Regency Press, which used to be run by an amazing woman named Kelly Ferjutz, who remains one of my dearest friends.
Set in December of 1776, it's an historical mystery introducing Henri Gruel, a sixteen-year-old French boy who is recruited as a spy against the visiting Benjamin Franklin, who has come to France to try to win French aid in the colonists' war against the British.
As a product of the small press, only five hundred copies were ever printed ... so, if you've got one, hang onto it! Who knows? It might be worth something someday! (If you'd like a copy, please e-mail me.)
