I was one of those kids always noodling with words, writing nonsense stories and animal adventures. I got a serious case of the word flu when I was asked to write an article for my high school newspaper. It's a disease from which I have yet to recover.

In the intervening years, my work has appeared in daily newspapers, monthly magazines, extensively on radio and the occasional dalliance with television. I have written advertising copy and radio commercials -- I continue to write, write, write.

Also featuring my byline are

Sarah & Gerald a novel about two Americans living in Paris right after the first world war. Read a sample.

Forever - and other stories a collection of short stories about life and death -- and life forever. Read a sample.

The Life Line a novel about the big one that levels San Francisco. Read a sample.

News on the Home Front a novel of two friends during World War Two. Read a sample.

Mama Cat a book for children about where cats go when they die. Read a sample.

Also, several short stage plays, a few radio plays and a boatload of radio documentaries.

I am currently working on my first science-fiction novel about a world where everyone is happy and everything is perfect.
