Once-was scientist; now writer, artist, musician, and theatre producer.
I want my books to create joy, to inspire, to entertain. I want to use them to "give back" to people who need something heart-lifting and entertaining. To put as much positive energy into the world as I can. To add the magic the world needs; it can be very hard to find, so I make that my job. I also like to help others achieve their creative potential :) Yay!
I have has published six novels in two genres - a time travel adventure/romance series (The Palace of the Stars, The Mine's Eye, and The Light) and an epic fantasy trilogy with a female lead and modern themes (Chelandra, Master of the World, and Juggernaut). And now, my Treasury of Feel-Good Stories series.
