Let's see...

I've been a writer since I was 13, when I decided that I wanted to write fantasy novels set in medieval worlds. I used to spend hours outlining books on heraldry, herbs, needle arts and knighthood...one that continues to stick in my head was called "Life on a Medieval Barony." I've written several stories since, but I never really used the information in a novel.

Now, years later, I've written a contemporary fantasy novel, Blue Moon and a fable-esq murder mystery The Chocolatier's Wife and several re-written fairy tales which have been collected, along with my other short fiction, in Wishes and Sorrows. My passion for the medieval has served me well, I am a member of the Society for Creative Anachronism, where I study historic fencing (I was recently awarded with a White Scarf), sewing, and anything else shiny that catches my eye.

I also garden, (my favorite things to grow are herbs and bulbs,) hoard books, and find nice little warm patches of grass to take naps in.

Summary: Humans are no longer alone; they have been joined by Arcanes, Lycans, and Vampires. It’s been over a hundred years since the Earth went through The Shift. Where once almost eight billion humans lived, the population now holds at four billion. But that wasn’t the only change. No one anticipated the branching of human DNA to produce new species of humans. Arcanes, Lycans, and Vampires are hidden throughout the genome, awaiting puberty before they manifest distinctly unhuman abilities. Finally, the new species of man were welcomed. No longer studied or treated as outcasts by most. People accepted these new humans and they integrated into society, albeit not easily. This allowed the UN Government to focus on colonizing space, in order to secure a future for all. Risks remain however, permitting a vampire to feed from you can cause shared memories. Tobin Corsian took such a risk. He resides in a newly reopened district of San Jose, California, where his family’s old home stood. He lives there with his friend Mikel, a Lycan, and his dog Begger. Instead of making his mandatory monthly blood donation at the government blood bank for the vampire community, Tobin decides, with the help of his therapist, to visit Biter, a vampire spa. The spa allows vampires to feed from humans directly while providing spa and sexual services, granting the donor a three-month reprieve from their required donations. Tobin’s encounter at Biter opens a window to his past and an experience he had as a child on the moon. Questions abound as he tries to unravel his past and make sense of his life.
