About me:

To date I have published the first novel in my YA series: Wireless in the Fabric of Time. It was released in January 2007, and can be ordered through Amazon, and Barnes & Noble.

Wireless.... is a story about a young man's life becoming derailed by forces beyond his control.

My protagonist, Von Muir Carmichael, has high expectations and a great plan, but life has something else in store for him. He is a college student riding the wave of wireless technology.

Von doesn't remember life before electronic devices. His wireless reality is as natural to him as the shoes on his feet.

He sees the wireless world as his lifeline. Even as he sleeps, he stays connected, with his Bluetooth headset device attached to his ear.

Being awakened by late-night text or IM's is the expected norm. When Von doesn't have access to his electronics, he feels cut off from the internet; the only world he knows.

Von is a symbolic of young adults that are channeled into society with high expectation only to find that lives can still be dictated by circumstances.

"Wireless: Life Doesn’t Rewind Across the Universe" will be the second part in the series, and should be available in book stores sometime in December 2009.

While working on my novels, I started a series of blogs. First, “Totally YA,” focuses on all things young adults, another, “Up Close & Personal,” is an ongoing conversation with authors and others from various genres, and the third, “A View Form the Top,” attempts to offer insight into agents’ and publishers’ points of view. The response to the blogs has been exciting and encouraging. It seems readers enjoy an open conversation with authors, agents and publishers of all ages, in which the blogger’s voice takes a back seat. The free expression that results has been enlightening to me as well, and as it happens has expanded my interests to fiction.

Goodbye Bling-Bling, Hel--looo, Jailbird! will be my first attempt at non-fiction. The plot is based on a true story, and is a classic tale of one man’s lust for the American dream. It is my first book written to the adult audience, but the life lessons will not be lost on young adults. Look for a January 2010 release.

There is still one unpublished novel entitled, Rice Paper World, that predates my new books. In it a woman in her nineties tells the love story of a Pacific Island girl to her grand daughter. The story is about the unrequited love of a young girl for a much older military hero, Admiral George Dewey, set around the time of the battle of Manila Bay in 1898.

I am currently working on more titles for 2010. Check in on my sites from time to time to find the latest news on my work, as well as the thoughts and comments of writers and others, who are shaping the literary landscape.

NOTE: Make believe stories is a child’s game. In adults, make believe is a sign of schizophrenia. But.... if you’re a writer, it’s called “a work of fiction” which is an imaginative form of narrative represented in a book.
