Nightmares & Lullabies, Now Available!

My first collection of LGBTQ short stories, “Nightmares and Lullabies,” is now available.

At times moving, mischievous, and reflective, much of the work is centered on the gay experience at varying life stages. In “Early Summer,” a boy’s first crush leads to the joy of reciprocity, while in “An Understanding,” bitterness, anger, and regret, fill the days of a man whose arrogance has cost him everything he didn’t know he needed, while “Lullaby” reveals a glimpse of the life after this one. This genre-spanning collection includes the award-winning literary fiction “Fitting In,” the sci-fi dystopia of “Farewell, Hollywood,” and the bizarre horror and dark humor of “A Time to Dance,” and “The Not-Zombies Apocalypse.” From the surreal to the sublime, the stories in Nightmares & Lullabies are fearless, unapologetic, and rife with moral ambiguity.

A young boy flees a desperate situation and finds a new home, a new family and epic interplanetary adventure. Set in a post-war 24th century America, 13-year-old Charlie runs away from his abusive uncle, following an old road he hopes will lead him to the ocean. Along the way he’s joined by a lost dog, Katie, and fights for survival in the wastelands. When Charlie reaches the end of the road, he discovers the thriving and technologically advanced city of Arcadia, where he saves the life of head-strong Becca Kiel, after her illicit journey through a wormhole lands her in the middle of a busy street. Charlie settles into a new life, and his friendship with Becca grows, until their destinies become intertwined as they dream of finding a new home for humanity, somewhere among the stars.

Beyond the Rivers of Time – Cover Reveal

It’s finally here! The cover for “Beyond the Rivers of Time,” sequel to “Beyond Tomorrow’s Sun,” and a Page Turner Award Finalist in its own right.

The epic adventure of Charlie and Becca continues. They’re joined by some old friends, and new enemies, as they explore distant worlds, and expand their quest for a new home to galactic proportions.

Pre-orders will open May 1, wherever books are sold.

An interstellar spacecraft crashes on an alien world, where a mysterious force alters the crew’s sense of humanity, sending them on a quest for answers, and survival.

A journey of discovery, 13 lightyears across the galaxy in an untested starship, will forever alter the course of human history, in ways no one can predict. Unless, of course, they’re a member of the Temporal Guards.

Humanity’s first attempt at interstellar travel ended with a cataclysmic explosion. With no sign of the ship and crew for over a year, the people of the Sol System are left grieving the loss of Captain Charles Bimmy and his scientist wife, Becca Kiel. 

But on the Deimos Colony orbiting Mars, a young astrophysicist, Dex Farber, has discovered convincing evidence indicating the crew not only survived, but are now trapped at their destination, the planet Luyten b. 

A rescue mission is set in motion, and the stakes are nothing less than the fate of the known galaxy, and humanity’s place in it.
