Thirty years ago I cut my teeth in writing fiction and enjoyed both sci-fi and historical fiction. A strange combination right? I agree. As time went on I found myself drawn away from fiction and spent many years working on factual matters related to travel and business. It kept me very busy and I enjoyed the research and writing. But in recent years, I've slowed down on the steady work of "fact" and slowly returned to my first love: fiction.
I must confess that I have a certain devilish very dry sense of humor.
This manifests itself in my books. I don't strive to write comedy -- far from it -- but if you're seeking something absolutely dry and heavy on science then you're looking in the wrong place. If you're looking for something with an actual scientific basis, careful research, and just a dash of dry humor then I may be your man. I'm interested in concepts but fundamentally I am far more interested in people.
If a volcano erupts, that is interesting. But I'm more interested in how people react to it. I'm fortunate in that I have traveled the world and seen the proverbial good, bad and ugly. That is what drives my stories.
