My first effort in fiction writing came when I was 11, a short fantasy that was published in my school newspaper and has long since been forgotten.  During high school and college, I read a great deal, was influenced by many different authors, and eventually began work on my own original creations.  Although I attempted and came close to professional publication in the late '70s, I eventually realized that the publishing industry was changing in ways I didn't especially like, and so decided to abandon my pursuit of becoming a paid professional and instead turned to other creative venues.  One, prompted largely by my decision to begin publishing a fiction fanzine, was fan fiction.

My first piece of fanfic, a Star Wars novel entitled Double Paradox, was written in 1978 and was serialized in the first four issues of Shadowstar.  Since then, I wrote a rather massive number of works in the Star Wars universe, and did not branch out into other genres until 1986.  At that point, in need of a less dark outlet for my creative juices during my mother's long, slow death by cancer, I began dabbling in the world of the Real Ghostbusters.   That phase of my writing was not as long-lived, but produced some of the more curious works in my repetoire.  In 1989, I wrote my one and only Indiana Jones novel, Indiana Jones and the Fires of Destiny (first published under what I considered the unsatisfactory title Burnt Offerings).  While working on it, I was also laboring to finish the last of my  RGB stories, which oddly enough evolved into a cross-universe tale that became the first of my Back to the Future novels, The Times They Are a-Changing.  After a six-year writer's block ended in 1999, BTTF provided me with a lot of fuel for my creative fires, and also sparked ideas for a number of the oddest cross-genre tales I've ever written.  In late 2001, stress caused a slowdown in my productivity, but other events also led me back to a genre with which I had fallen in love at age 11, and with which I had done some very minor tinkering just before the block set in, The Lord of the Rings.

Here you will find archives of my currently available unpublished or out-of-print fanfic and original fiction, as well as an archive of partially completed works ("Unfinished Tales").  Look for updates in all areas here in the future.

All stories are downloadable as PDF files, which require Adobe Acrobat Reader to be viewed or printed.  If you do not already have AAR, it's a free program, widely available on the Internet.

One final note:  All my fiction is, at worst, PG-13.  I do not do slash, smut, angst, hurt/comfort, self-insertion, or any other specific subgenres.   Please do not ask that I do so.  I write strictly from the inspiration of my Muse and the heart, and neither tend in those directions.
