My first novel,
January’s
Paradigm, was published by Minerva Press, London, England. Current
Entertainment Monthly in Ann Arbor, Michigan,
wrote of January’s Paradigm, “(readers) will not be able to put it down.” I have two other novels
based on the Joe January character, OneHot January and January’s Thaw. The former is available from Second Wind Publishing and the latter is now available from Second Wind, Amazon, and Barnes and Noble.
Chaotic Theory, a novella that explores the conjecture of how the flap of a butterfly’s wings in Brazil might result in a tornado
in Texas, is now available from Amazon.
In April 2010, I completed
my fifth novel, The Cobb Legacy, a murder mystery that spans two centuries written around baseball legend, Ty Cobb, and the shooting death
of his father by his mother. Look for The Cobb Legacy, from Pulse Publishing, in winter 2012.
Death is considered a universal ideal in fiction writing, so you’ll want to check out
my last project, A Retrospect
in Death, which is now being considered for publication.
My current project is nearing completion: 500 Miles to Go (the working title) is a piece set during the golden era of motor racing (the 1960s) and centers on Alex
Król and his efforts to find love while making his dream to win the Indianapolis
500 come true.
