 The
Required Bio
I was raised in Los Angeles. Just a hop, skip, and jump to get to
the movie studios. TV shows were often filmed on streets near
where I lived. At the same time, science fiction fandom took off
with the sudden interest in Star Trek. While other people were
hooked on The Fonz, I was into television science fiction and going to
conventions.
In 1989, I joined the Army Reserve and went active duty the same year,
stationed in Washington state. In 1990, I was deployed to the first
Persian Gulf War and then later transferred to Washington, DC. I
finished my military duty with the National Guard in 2001. Now I
do PowerPoint presentations and audio visual support.How I Started
Writing
I started writing when I was eight because my best friend had written a
play. I created my own girl detective series with a character
named Sharon McCall. I tried a variety of writing, including short
fiction, poetry, non-fiction, journalism, broadcast journalism,
screenwriting, newsletters, and even technical writing. But my
love was fiction and novels. I'm currently editing an urban
fantasy and have another urban fantasy in the works.
What I Read
If it's action and adventure, I'm likely to be drawn to it like a moth
to the light. But I'll read anything if the story looks like it
might be good.My Favorite Childhood TV Series
Sea Hunt, with Lloyd Bridges. Action, adventure, and
underwater--yeah! It's a shame it hasn't been released on DVD yet.
I still remember the mermaid episode.
