I am currently a professional novelist and publisher with a new novel coming out in June 2008, A Countdown to Action! that is an officially licensed Thunderbirds novel.

I am the author of the books Voyager: Exploring the Outer Planets and Boldly Writing, as well as numerous short stories and articles. I have run FTL Publications, in Minnetonka, MN, which publishes science fiction, fantasy and mystery genre titles, for over 10 years.
