Welcome to my website.

I am glad you stopped by. Thank you for your interest in my work.

I have sold almost fifty short stories and articles to professional and semi-professional magazines. My first science fiction novel, FEVREBLAU, was published by Five Star Press in 2005 and sold out its first print run.  FEVREBLAU can still be found in used bookstores, online dealers and libraries. Or maybe you can borrow a copy from a friend!

I am currently working on short stories, particularly my dark fantasy Westerns set in the mythical town of Haxan, New Mexico, along with other tales of speculative fiction. In this mix is a new Haxan novel!

I attend as many science fiction conventions as I can every year. This information can be found in my News section. I am always happy to meet new writers and readers of all kinds of fiction so feel free to drop by and say hello!

BREAKING NEWS!

"White Hawk" a brand new Haxan story, will be published by Frontier Tales Magazine  in March.  Please, check back for a link when it goes live!

A new Mama Luiz story "Strange Charms" will appear in Drops of Crimson in April. When it goes live I'll provide the link. So, please, keep checking back.  :)

A new Haxan story entitled "High Moon" is now appearing in Beneath Ceaseless Skies.  Read it here!

Coming soon, the anthology Destination: Future published by Hadley Rille books with my story "Rubber Monkeys" included.  The cover is by Ed Norden:

Writing Rules

 1. TELL A GOOD STORY. This should be self-explanatory. Sadly, for many new writers, and quite a few who should know better, this is a perpetual stumbling block.

2. TRUST YOUR INSTINCTS. Put more simply, write what you feel and don’t be afraid to take chances with your fiction. ‘Nuff said!

3. PERSEVERE. You must have the courage to fail if you want to be successful in anything. Remember, the unsold story is the unread story. I know, sometimes it’s like banging your head against a brick wall. Trust me, I’ve been there. But don’t give up. There are a LOT of writers out there who are getting published, and I’m willing to bet they have less talent than you do.They're successful because they keep submitting and never quit. You should do the same.

Good luck!
