What I'm writing
Contemporary Literary Fiction:
Divide by Zero: The quiet subdivisions of Paradise offer Troy and his family a chance to repair their lives after his father's departure and sudden return. They meet the locals. They build new lives. Children are born. Teenage girls rush through the park after dark. And Troy’s new sister-in-law obsesses about guardian angel cats. When a child is killed, it falls to another wounded child, Troy’s son, to offer the whole community a second chance. An ABNA 2009 quarter-finalist, published by StoneGarden.net Publishing, scheduled for rerelease in 2014 with Second Wind Publishing
Infinite Sum: It’s not till Sylvia (from Divide by Zero) forgives herself, even though she’s not guilty, that she learns to claim her secrets as her own. Shadows of the past don’t have to define her after all, and she's more than the sum of events that have happened to her. Accepted for publication by Second Wind Publishing.
Subtraction: When everything's been taken away, how can a man learn how to find and define himself?
Imaginary Numbers: David was on the phone to his mother when he read her obituary in the paper. As mysteries add up, he has to work out what's real and what's imaginary, without losing the girl.
Love on a Transfer: Will English Ellen choose the quiet careful calm of boyfriend Eric, or will the wilds of America land her in the more exciting arms of American Eric? Meanwhile, what of Ellen's quiet friend left behind in England? Love on a Transfer's been transferred - will it find a publisher?
Novellas and Novellettes:
Nalya's Sunset: Kol’s friend Nalya is blind, and childhood attraction is just transforming into love when a devastating storm brings death and destruction raining on their fast-grain farm. The two children grow up too fast, Kol working with grain and Nalya leaving for town. But eventually Kol learns it's not always the sighted who see most clearly. Nalya returns bringing with her a love as pure and enduring as the sunset sky.
Rose on the Vine: Can ghosts of the future haunt the past? And if so, how will we appease them? When Emma falls victim to their house's gruesome mystery, Joe lands in jail. Meanwhile local children Dan and Jess make the mistake of drawing too close. But in the end, Jess's girlfriend helps bring the story full-circle to a place where roses bloom.
Refracted: The story of a man who gets lost in time and can't remember what he's looking for.
Black Widow: The history of Boudicca's Britain meets the legend of the Holy Grail.
Flower Child: The curious relationship between a grieving mother and her unborn child.
