August 24, 2016

New Novel Accepted for Publication

March 18, 2014
Yesterday, I got a taste of the luck of the Irish because I had the good fortune of having my new novel, The Abraxas Stone, accepted for publication by JMS Books LLC.  Below is a blurb for it:

The Abraxas Stone is the sequel to my paranormal thriller The Nexus, in which Sykes, its gay protagonist, discovered the origin of his extrasensory powers: a covert, prenatally conducted genetics experiment.  Semi-conscious, Sykes finds himself in a familiar room and begins to recall the cross-country ro...

"Stone in Water, Waiting" released by JMS Books

January 24, 2013

My story depicts an air of expectancy off the coast of San Francisco where a majority of the populace has been willed to witness an extraordinary event. In its wake, society undergoes the biggest paradigm shift in history and a door to the collective unconscious is unlocked.

Back in the late 1960s/early ’70s there was a cultural renaissance of a sort, which expressed Gaia consciousness through various artistic media, and perhaps with good reason; it was also around that period that disr...

"How Is Mankind?" released by JMS Books

January 13, 2013
Life has changed for a San Francisco lab technician and his gay son when aliens land on Earth, inadvertently provide mankind with rare gifts, and attempt to satisfy their own curiosity about the human race.

With all the recent apocalyptic predictions, and justified concerns about global warming and depletion of natural resources, I wanted to show how an otherworldly event could have a positive effect on a planetary scale. Though I’ve written other alien visitation scenarios, I thought I’...

"Saving Face" released by JMS Books

December 23, 2012

Henry’s “Gift of the Magi” and Shirley Jackson’s “The Lottery,” I wanted to come up with my own contemporary parable about love and sacrifice, one that would resonate for LGBT readership. As a result, I wrote “Saving Face.” You can get it now from JMS Books website. The following paragraph is a brief description of this winter solstice story.

Jasper and Owen have been partnered for seven years, with an unwavering dedication to one anot...

Gaylaxicon 2012 in Minneapolis

December 14, 2012
As a guest panelist at this year's well-run Gaylaxicon, I appeared on three panels: Adult Fiction, Sexual Alternatives in Dark Fantasy (my own panel concept), and Ways to Improve your Writing. Not only was this convention informative, but it was also lots of fun.  I can't say enough about how cordial everyone was and even made some new friends among the local attendees, many of whom were writers and artists.

Just received my quarterly royalty check and very psyched about some upcoming writing prospects and gigs.  My publisher and some peers will help to promote The Nexus and Dreaming Sparta this season at various conventions around the country.  I'm gearing up for this year's World Science Fiction Convention in Reno which looks exciting; I plan to do a private reading and lots of networking. Meanwhile, have had the opportunity to interview a local, award-winning writer; it will appear in print so...

BayCon appearance and panels

May 31, 2011
Just returned from Santa Clara where BayCon, the Bay Area's annual sf&f convention took place.  I was invited as a guest panelist which enabled me to promote my books and meet some fabulous and talented people like D.M. Atkins and Allison Lonsdale.  During the LGBT-themed reading, I read excerpts from Dreaming Sparta and The Nexus, both of which were well received. It was also good to see some old friends and witness some very creative costumes,art, and music. One afternoon I took the light r...
