My first three novels, young adult science fiction books, Metal Heart, Tin Road, and Iron Curtain were accepted into the Multnomah County Library Writers Project Collection.I recently wrapped up tenure as the Managing Editor at Ooligan Press, and I'm now working as an Editor.I currently live in Portland, Oregon with my spouse, our daughter, our Boston Terrier Oreo Cookie, and I'm the proud steward of a Little Free Library.
