I write speculative fiction (umbrella term for fantasy and science fiction), primarily secondary world fantasy – which is set in a world other than our own. I have a preference for high fantasy mixed with intrigue, and dabble in what is called mannerpunk, fantasy of manners. You’ll also find some humorous stories and soft science fiction. Fantasy mysteries are a recent fascination of mine, and I strive to apply the rules of fair play to my fiction.
As for poetry, I’m a traditionalist at heart: I love form poetry, from sonnets to villanelles. I love to make magic within the strictures of the form.

SCYLLA AND CHARYBDIS
For Anaea Carlisle – raised on an isolated space station populated solely by women – the world is far too small. On a salvage mission, she helps rescue a hypermental named Gwydion who challenges everything she thought she knew. When she flees the station to prevent him from having his memory erased, she finds herself in a brand-new world and struggling to find a home.
