About Destalis

Destalis is a 192,000 word science fiction novel that I began working on in January of 2004. It's a philosophical epic set in the Milkomeda galaxy in the distant future. The manuscript is currently being critiqued by two different novel editing groups and should be ready for agents and publishers by early fall 2009. Please register if you'd like to read it.

Beyond Cloud Nine is my second novel. Between December 2008 and January 2009, I started and finished about a third of it. In contrast to Destalis, it's Earth-based and set in the twenty-third century. Once Destalis is complete and I finish a few other short stories, I plan to pick it up again.

Destalis, Beyond Cloud Nine, and most of my other works contain aspects of space opera, a sub-genre of science fiction. All my stories are introspective, fast-paced, both character and event driven, and set against the backdrop of grandiose events.

If I've managed to adequately convey in writing what exists in my head, my writing should come across as smart, engaging storytelling to which a wide audience can relate. It often seems to me that science fiction is not as highly regarded or viewed in the same light as those Academy Award-winning tales set in the past or modern day. My goal is to bring that kind of reverence to the genre.
