About meMost active on my blog and Google+. I can also be found on Goodreads, Twitter, Facebook, and other social networks.

My blog is called Worldbinding, where I write about my science fiction and fantasy stories as well as recent conventions and writing events I've attended. I also explore speculative "What If?" topics such as the concept of the Second Self and the question of whether telepathy can really be considered science fiction.

Current projects include post-apocalyptic novel called The Ageless, and a near-future science fiction novel, The Century.

About my libraryMy parents began reading to me from a very early age, and I've always loved science fiction and fantasy.

When I was in the third grade, I wanted to read my father's science fiction collection soooo badly--especially Edgar Rice Burroughs's Venus series with interesting covers filled by strange beasts and bizarre landscapes. He eventually read H.G. Wells's War of the Worlds to me. I thought it was the best bedtime story ever.
