Over the years, many readers have told me that my books look interesting, but they can't or won't read such huge tomes.
That's why I've been working on, not 1, but a whopping 2(!!!) collections of short stories. That way readers can enter my worlds without committing to a brick!

6 years ago, I became a published author with the release of The Engineer! It's a SFF adventure about an eccentric engineer trying to survive in the ruined city of Redemption. If you haven't read it yet, what better time than on its book birthday?
