My "job" (if you want to call it that) is writing science fiction/fantasy novels -- a very pleasant way to make a living. And you meet interesting people at the conventions.
I'm married to a bellydancer. We have three cats, all black, too many books in too small a condo, and love to travel.
Who I'd like to meet: Other writers or just people interested in the genre. Readers of any kind.
Hey, just wanted to say I never have liked to read, and I haven't read a book since the 8th grade. I found your book Dragon Champion at a used book store and really wasn't looking for anything, just there with a friend. I read the first chapter in the store and absolutely enjoyed it. I just finished it and am starting the 2nd in the series. Any plans on writing more books on dragons, elves, dwarves, etc??
Hi E.E.! I’m so glad I had the “vision” to be your friend. Thanks a lot…and I look forward to finding out more about you and your work.

i really injoyed valintines latest adventure. allthough the vampire earth rpg book was a little disapointing i was exspecting more of a rules light but heavy on the world both now and the events that tuck place at the onset of the kurans second ocupation of earth but i have not finished it yet. what i have read has your natural charm and whimsy nature to it. i was wonderring if u wetre going to do a prequil serries ether to the second or first incursion of the kurans. i have just got your dragon novel serries today so that will be filling my time while waitting for the next vampire earth suplament. thanks for the great creative novels.
Thanks for the add. And I have to say I'm saddened by the fact that I have to wait until December for the 4th 'Age of Fire' book. I read the first three in less than three weeks. They were so cool.
