Incredibly grateful that my sci-fi novel, THE THIRD RULE OF TIME TRAVEL, has entered a Fourth Printing!
This is a fast-paced psychological thriller with some hard science and speculative elements, for anyone interested in checking it out. Link in comments.

I've seen a lot of reviews where readers seem perplexed (or disappointed) by the content of one of my novels because it's different from another of my books they may have read and enjoyed.
To that end, I created this primer that hopefully gives a sense of my different novels and what they offer.
