Hi, folks. Just starting my author blog/website here at WordPress. I’m a writer of fiction (mostly), and I tend to focus on genres like sci-fi, horror, and dark fantasy–although martial arts, Westerns and other genres will probably also make an appearance in future projects. I like to read a lot of different types of works, and hopefully, in time, my own writing will reflect that diversity. I just published my first short story collection this past summer, called Even Closer Than the Sea and Other Stories, and it’s available in paperback and for Kindle on Amazon. It’s a bit rough around the edges, but I think it presents a good overview of my writing style, tone and favorite subjects.
I grew up out in the country in upstate New York, and now I live by the ocean in New England; I’ve always been deeply influenced by my environment, and I think that comes across in my writing. Although my works aren’t overtly religious, I am writing from a Christian perspective. I tend to agree with other Christian writers like J.R.R Tolkien and C.S. Lewis that one’s religious outlook should certainly be an underpinning for one’s stories, but should never be a substitute for the complexity and subtlety of the craft of storytelling.
Thanks for the interest, and for taking the time to read the words that I’ve written. Stay tuned for more to come…
