Alex and friends will return in the upcoming novel
Espero, A Silver Ships Novel.

I have been enamored with fiction novels since the age of thirteen and long been a fan of great storytellers. I’ve lived in several countries overseas and in many of the US states, including Illinois, where I met my wonderful wife thirty-seven years ago. My careers have spanned a variety of industries in the visual and scientific fields of photography, biology, film/video, software, and information technology (IT).

My first attempt at a novel, titled
The Lure,
was a crime drama centered on the modern-day surfacing of a 110-carat yellow diamond lost during the French Revolution. In 1980, in preparation for the book, I spent two wonderful weeks researching the Brazilian people, their language, and the religious customs of Candomblé. The day I returned from Rio de Janeiro, I had my first date with my wife-to-be, Peggy Giels.

During the next thirty-four years, I outlined dozens of novels, but a busy career limited my efforts to complete any of them. Recently, I’ve chosen to make writing my primary focus. My first novel,
The Silver Ships
, was released in February 2015. This first installment in a sci-fi trilogy was quickly followed by books two and three,
Libre
and
Méridien
.
Haraken
and
Sol
, the fourth and fifth books in the series, continue the exploits of Alex Racine and company in a two-part story.
Espero
, the sixth book in the series, is forthcoming.

I hope to continue to intrigue my readers with my stories as this is the most wonderful job I’ve ever had!
