I’m a member of SFWA (Science Fiction & Fantasy Writers Association), ITW (International Thriller Writers, Inc.), the Authors Guild, and Codex Writers’ Group.

My debut thriller will be published on February 7, 2023 by Ooligan Press (Portland State University). Signed copies can be purchased from Madison Books, 2022 finalist for Publishers Weekly’s Bookstore of the Year Award. For more, see Extreme Vetting.
