WRITING
BIBLIOGRAPHY
I've written several novels, short stories, and screenplays. Here are a
handful of them!

first book, City of Slaves, and outlines of the remaining books, I've made a database of
alien cultures, concept art,
languages,
maps,
technology, and histories.
- November 2007 update: REWRITE COMPLETE!!!
A couple of years ago, I tentatively submitted the original version of Book 1 to my
top-choice literary agents, and to the Baen Books slush pile. One agent read the
first three chapters and requested the entire manuscript. I sent her my manuscript
and never heard back. I called her once, and sent her three or four emails, but
then I received a rejection from Baen Books and decided to revise the book (based
on feedback from the Baen reader, and my own common sense) rather than pursue the agent.
I'm currently making a few final edits to the first chapters before I send out a bunch of
query letters. I'll write a new novel while I wait for responses.
- The Illusionist is a Young Adult fantasy novel.
- Click HERE
to read a blurb.
- Click HERE
to read the first chapter.
- 2007 update: This novel was rejected from a few publishers. I plan to give it a major revision someday. Currently shelved.
- The Torth Resurgence is an incomplete Science Fiction novel I wrote in college.
- Salt Water is a Horror novel I wrote when I was in junior high school.
- Sarah's Secrets is a Science Fiction novel I wrote when I was in junior high school.
. . . and SCREENPLAYS
- Eden is a feature-length screenplay in the Horror/Science Fiction genres.
- 2007 update: I need to revise Eden before submitting it to contests, slush piles, and agents.
