Under Development

  • Dreaming in Silence, a second SF novel.
  • A screenplay adaptation of Strange Attractors.
  • A nonfiction book about my experience growing up in a family mortuary business. (This manuscript is done but I'm letting it "cool" for a while.)

Journalism

  • I have written dozens of features and news stories, ranging from local through regional markets such as The Denver Post and Colorado Business Journal, and on into international markets.
  • My wife, Kym, and I edited and published a quarterly magazine in the mid '90s called Connecting with Colorado, a publication that mixed romancing the West with the realities of living in the New West.
  • We also served as co-editors and part owners of a weekly newspaper called The Gunnison Valley Telegraph in the mid 90s.
  • The most interesting project I was involved in was researching and co-writing articles with Kym about the Teton Sioux Treaty Council's bid for recognition as a sovereign nation before the World Court in the Hague, Netherlands. Our coverage was picked up by major papers across Europe -- although our own stateside AP didn't seem interested.
  • Guest Entertainment and Sports editor for Lycos's Top News project in the mid 1990s.
