About the Author
I write science fiction and fantasy, both novels and short stories. I finished my sixth novel in November, working on the next in a new series. Seaborn (Juno Books) is my first novel, and it is the middle book in "The Seaborn Trilogy", which begins with Saltwater Witch, and ends with Sea Throne. My short stories have appeared in a bunch of places, mostly online zines, latest sale is "Lost Dogs and Fireplace Archeology" to Fantasy Magazine (June, 2010). My story "Hammers and Snails" is a Heinlein Centennial Short Fiction Contest winner.I'm also an illustrator, working in ink, watercolors, and digital formats. I have a pen and ink illustration in the last issue of Shimmer Magazine. My weekly updated graphic novel / web comic Saltwater Witch keeps me busy. I have art spread over several sites, but a good place to start is here:http://www.saltwaterwitch.com
