Bibliography
As I complete works and get them published,
these pages will be expanded to provide more details about each
story and/or collection. For now, here is a list of my
completed stories:
- NOVELS:
- RIPPED (a techno-thriller)
I'm currently seeking representation for this novel.
What if, when
you died, your brain could be RIPPED into a computer,
uploading your consciousness into a lightning-fast program that
lives forever?
- The Last Tomorrow (a techno-thriller)
I'm currently seeking representation for this novel.
Yesterday was an illusion
Tomorrow never arrives
- SHORT STORIES & NOVELETTES:
-
 The Road to NPS (7,400 words, with
Sandra McDonald,
author of The Outback Stars trilogy)
The working title was "Ice Road Suckers," a story
about an ice road trucker on Europa (an icy moon of Jupiter).
It's now available in mass-market paperback, as part of Jonathan
Strahan's anthology, Edge of Infinity published by
Solaris.
-
The Stars Beneath Our Feet (5,900
words, with Sandra McDonald, published in the
Futuredaze anthology). What happens when a teenage boy in love tries to impress the girl of his dreams (who barely knows he exists) with an invitation to a secret adventure: stowing away on a spaceship to a new orbiting colony? What could possibly go wrong?
- Technesia (9,500 words)
Inspired by watching NASCAR on TV: your headset
should tag the people and places you see. But what happens when
this technology fails?
- Apophis 2029 (10,000 words)
In 2004, scientists feared the asteroid Apophis
was on an April 13, 2029 collision course with the Earth. Later
observations predict a 2029 near miss but a possible Earth
impact in 2036. Even if it misses us it will return every seven
years, until some day our luck will run out. Small as
asteroids go (only 1000 feet wide), a land strike will still
devastate an area the size of Connecticut. But an ocean strike
is much more likely. The resulting tsunami will destroy coastal
communities around the globe—a hundred million lives lost, a
trillion dollars damage. We must prevent this catastrophe.
This story is about a mission to deflect Apophis.
- Infertility (6,000 words)
The year is 2056, and humanity is expanding into
space in a series of habitats in Earth orbit. But no woman born
in space has ever gotten pregnant without at least visiting the
Earth. Does this spell doom for the long-term future of humanity
in space?
- Ghost Rights (6,000 words) (the first of a
series of short stories on this theme of life after death)

death....
