Scif-Fi & Fantasy writer, exploring the depths of insanity and traveling the alternate universes.
I saw this confusing hyphen format used during a local news report regarding the late Arnold Palmer’s age. According to this news station, “Arnold Palmer was 87-years-old”. I thought this looked strange — okay, it looked weird — so I decided to do a little fact-checking. Turns out it’s weird…
Being as I’m basically finished with my debut in the fantasy-science-fiction-writing world, having essentially completed a six-book story series that began with After Earth: Journey To The Black City, it was time to move forward…or perhaps backward in time. Years before I wrote Journey To The Black City, I’d written…
In the introduction to the second book in my “After: Earth” series, we mentioned that the land we call South America on our earth, was a place of fear and death in the minds of city dwelling men. But now, it is revealed that the shadowy figure who calls himself…
As my first book, “Journey To The Black City” in the series, “After: Earth” concludes, we learn that Kel’s grandfather is not being held in the Black City—the Bishop had taken him and other kidnapped shamans into The Green. It is there that Lyria, Kel, and Raven must go in…

And the Magician himself is just that—an accomplished stage magician with an interesting twist. He mesmerizes his patrons. That would be the drunken men hanging out in the Green Hyena, and can somehow make them see whatever he wants them to see. He literally shows them their mythical account of…
We first meet this mysterious character in the first book of my six-part series: “Journey To The Black City”. He’s another one of those characters I had to get to know as the story progressed. In the beginning, I wasn’t at all sure if he would be a continuing character,…
Since adulthood comes soon in this kind of society; he has a chance encounter with a man known only as ‘the magician.’ I’ll say more about him later. This is one of those encounters that some call fate, and that the more cynical among us call ‘mere coincidence.’ In any…
A short time ago, I mentioned one of my characters in my six novel Steampunk/Fantasy series beginning with “Journey To The Black City”. The character in question is Dan Hendricks. If you recall, he’s a character who just sort of dropped in to say, “Hi” and then moved in—top hat,…
