Olivia's Filed
The Olivia’s Realm podcast is a serial drama told by Olivia as she tries to escape small town life while discovering there might be more to her little street than she’d ever imagined.
Olivia’s drawn to the field in a way she’s never wanted anything before. And what’s more? The field wants her, too. What will it do to her? Will the Field let her go?
Trojan Wars
Muk would work farmlettes, fix air systems, administer last rights, whatever people need. Helping was her calling and she had trained four years to do it. Unfortunately, her grandfather promised to marry Muk off to seal a deal. After all, she was the closest thing the Belt had to a princess. Isn’t that what princesses really do?
We the people
Sunday knows the way to water. My son needs a drink bad. We’ll follow her and live. The Old Soldier can keep us safe the whole way if we stay with him.
We have to make it, no matter what. Trust Sunday. Trust the Old Soldier.

Decision Time
Three years ago I started a novel. It turned into Rock Hopper. Half way through Rock Hopper, I wrote Olivia’s Field, but I kept returning to the Trojan War universe to write more about Rock Hopper’s characters. They had reasons for the choices they made. Most of those...
Taste the Rainbow: Why I Decided to Go to Sasquan
We split ourselves, for ease and genre. What do you read? Everything, but mostly scifi. Speculative fiction doesn’t cut it. Fantasy is science fiction in the broad scheme. The writing guild is Science Fiction and Fantasy Writers of America, after all. But we’ll take...
Planning and Plotting
I’m a planner. I have a plan b, a contingency plan and then a couple more besides. The decision tree never ends, why should the planning? I write, after all, and this planning is really plotting. There are many plans in action at one time, too. Sometimes the plan...
Prejudice, Experience, and Education
I can’t afford the price of selfishness. Seeing more of the world, both in person and through the eyes of new-found internet friends, educates me and makes sitting in my comfortable life a little less easy. Sometimes it adds discontentedness to the equation, for...
