Here you are. Hello. I’m a writer and researcher, and a digital immigrant – there’s no going back, Grasshopper (the grasshopper is a symbol of happiness, abundance, creativity, and generally good things across a number of cultures so it can’t do us any harm to so name ourselves – it’s an invitation to the universe to send us light matter as opposed to the dark, oozy stuff).
So, Grasshopper, I research topics relating to my writing, and I write about:
- crime (contemporary mysteries – check out my Books and Writing page)
- the future (I’ve coined the term SuSpecCriFi: Supernatural Speculative Crime Fiction),
- the present (in the form of posts here at ttf,, and poetry at Veranda Life and Zen Kettle, and, not infrequently,
- the past (memoir).
Oh, and I’ll shamelessly plug my novels and other assorted creative productions from time to time. And there’s no time like the present:
My third novel, Spawned Secrets, is now available as both an e-book and paperback from Amazon.

You might also enjoy my newest short story, Kerry-Ann and the ’82 Share House Blues, the tale of a 20-something woman in the 1980s learning the relationship ropes, and not a hint of Facebook or Twitter in sight. You can buy it at Amazon for your Kindle for a teeny .99¢, or get it here for free as a downloadable pdf. I know, generosity is a strong suit here at ttf.
Coming soon: e-versions of my first two novels, A Mortality Tale and Percussion, both still available in paperback. Check them out on my Amazon Author page where they are conveniently flaunting themselves together
