Profile

Writing fiction professionally since 1989: horror, fantasy, media tie-ins. Author of (to date) seventeen novels, half a dozen or so short stories, more plans, analyses, and technical papers than I care to count.

Military brat, have spent most of my life living and/or working on military bases and/or reservations. (View the military with, shall we say, a jaundiced eye as a result.) Currently retired (thank heavens) from a national laboratory. Recently moved back East, adjusting to culture (it's the South, and it takes a lot of adjusting at times). Currently have one Morgan mare, seven indoor and one barn cat. The cats own the place, the rest of us are mere decoration. Enrolled member of the Muskogee Nation, but about as urbanized as an Irish Indian born in Germany can get. Dual US/Irish citizen.


Two master's degrees, one in Speech Communication, one in Information Sciences (a fancy way of saying Library). BA in Anthropology. Continuing education in pretty much all the "interests" listed below.

Unmarried, uninterested. No kids.
