Although I’ve dabbled in many genres, I keep coming back to science fiction and fantasy. Here are some of the major projects I have been working on over the past few years. I also have lots of short stories simmering on the back burner, including a few that I’m hoping to finish very soon.

Cinders and Steel
A steampunk adventure inspired by Cinderella.
