Welcome to BookView Cafe! 

I am best-known as the author of the Cosa Nostradamus books for Luna (the “Retrievers” and “Paranormal Scene Investigations” series),  and the forthcoming Vineart War books from Pocket, but my first love was short fiction, and I still continue to work in that form.  Why?  Because short fiction pushes buttons.  It asks 'what if?" and then doesn't always give you the answer.  It entertains...but it also opens wounds... or helps heal them. It has the freedom to take risks, dare failure, and fling itself off a cliff to get an idea of what it's like to fly.

And because, honestly, it's fun to kick up your heels in the shorter format, every now and again.

Here in Bookview Cafe you'll eventually find an assortment of my shorter fiction, from flash to novella-length. Hopefully it will give you a hunger, not only for more of my work, but short fiction overall, in every genre.Go ahead...take a risk...
