Genesee finds herself conflicted even as she seeks the solitude of a quiet stroll through the farmlands of Iowa. She has been summoned to Alaska by her former mentor, who is currently recovering from a mysterious ailment. Although it has been several years since she last talked to him, she makes arrangements without question. She is blissfully unaware that her life has been woven into a project that casts her as the key to unlocking the most powerful weapon nature possesses. The Everythingness is guarded by the Yu'pik peoples. Her presence has been foretold, yet it is still unexpected.

I have been a professional writer for over twenty years. And although the lure of creating content for a nonfictional world (finance, business, etc.) remains an attractive alternative to my NEED to write, I no longer have the passion for that genre.

Over the last several years, since walking away from that world in 2018, I have refocused my efforts on fiction. I have learned several things as I dabble in various styles of varying lengths. I prefer writing novels. However, a collection of short stories is being gathered. There is a seventh novel, which I have queried with little success. The release on this platform is now scheduled for May 1, 2023.

I hope you enjoy my work. It is a bit dark, perhaps slightly misanthropic, or at least my main characters tend to be, but hopeful. Even when isolation is preferable, these tales allow well-meaning social interactions with supporting characters. Ironically, I do consider my novels to be love stories.

I have lived in Portland, OR with my wife for almost four decades.
