Writing a full length novel is like running a marathon...without water...being chased by wolverines...while juggling... 
                                            ...difficult during the race but very satisfying to find you're still alive at the end.

It took me six years to finish my first full length story, 'Death, The Devil, and The Goldfish'. I would stop writing for months at a time and then go back to find that I'd forgotten where I was up to. I then studied with a Tibetan Monk (his name was Arnold) and developed a keen sense of focus and discipline. My second full length story, 'Stiltskin', took me one year and was a brilliant experience that produced not only a full length novel but also a series of fairy tales which would later become Fairy Tales Out Loud.

Detailed below is my current list of work (completed and works in progress). My first novel Death, The Devil, and The Goldfish was published December 5th, 2012 by Curiosity Quills Press followed by my second full length novel, Stiltskin, to be published in 2013.


STILTSKIN - Adult Fiction, Fantasy/Satirical Fairy Tale

Coming in 2013 from Curiosity Quills Press! 

SYNOPSIS:
What would you do if you found an evil dwarf in your bathtub?

In Robert Darkly’s case the discovery propels him on a journey to an entirely different world living just on the other side of our own reality; a world where fairy tales are real but not in the way we’ve come to expect them.                                                   

Welcome to the world of Thiside where people and creatures have served as the true inspiration for the fairy tales of our world for hundreds of years. The evil dwarf, Rumpelstiltskin, convicted of murder resides uncomfortably in his cell in the Tower prison.  When fellow convicted murderer, the Mad Hatter, offers the dwarf a chance to escape in return for a simple favor the dwarf embarks on a sinister plot to finish what he started so many years ago.

Robert Darkly, oblivious that he is the son of the Mad Hatter, must partner with the mysterious ‘Agency’ to pursue Rumpelstiltskin across our world and the world of Thiside and uncover the treacherous secret that threatens to throw both realities into eternal chaos.
