I've been in love with basically two genres for more than fifty years; they being sci-fi/fantasy and detective/mystery genres. Of course, I am old enough to think sci-fi and fantasy should be lumped into one bracket (I know, I know . . . I am an old cuss. So be a little patient with me!)

Currently I've got two books out on the market. One detective and one fantasy. The fantasy novel is called Roland of the High Crags: Evil Arises. I think it is really different kind of fantasy. More personal. More tragic. It looks at the useage of magic in an entirely different light. Using magic has a cost--sometimes a severe cost, to the one summoning it. And it is a different fantasy novel in that it folds in two forms of philosophy into its pages. Chinese Taoism and Greco-Roman Stoic philosophy can be found--but found in a way to be (I hope!) in an interesting read.

My second book is called Murderous Passions. If you like a good, old fashioned hardboiled detective yarn, you might like the two homicide cops who work the crimes within.

Of course more books are coming. I hope. If (and it's a big if) I can find a publisher who actually likes my writing. We'll see
