The Stars Down Under, and The
Stars Blue Yonder - are about an Australian
military lieutenant, her handsome sergeant, and their
adventures in deep space. My work has appeared in Asimov's, Strange Horizons,
Realms of Fantasy and several other magazines and

for gay and straight teens and adults starting with this
adventure:
The U.S. Navy commissioned me as an officer and sent me on various and odd (mis)adventures to Guam, Newfoundland and Key West: since then, people have paid me to be a Hollywood assistant, software instructor, bureaucrat and college professor. Various likes: My spouts (they know who they are), Star Wars, Stargate, Supernatural, being vegetarian and fabulous writers such as (but not limited to) Stephen King, Guy Gavriel Kay, Diana Gabaldon, Dennis Lehane, James Patrick Kelly, Greg van Eekhout, Sarah Prineas, and C.C. Finlay. Thank you to Sue, Terry B., Terry O., Stephanie, Janine, Wendy, Cindy and Angela |
