In a review of one of my books, the Midwest Review of Books said, "In a genre replete with formula writing, it's difficult to say that a new arrival feels truly original; but Silversion is all this and more, and will delight fantasy fans looking for something different—beasts and all."

This captures the spirit of my storytelling: highly original, fast-paced epic adventures like nothing you've read before. All of my stories are appropriate for readers ages 10 to 110.

In many ways, we are the stories we tell ourselves and that we tell about each other. Beyond providing an entertaining story, I strive to break out of the mental boxes made up of the stories we tell.

It's also worth noting that I grew up on a farm with hundreds of cows, and they and other animals have taken over my brain! So the characters in my novels are re-imagined animals—but, if you think you know what that means, it's definitely not that.

Why Wood Cow Books? Well, one of my key characters, a certain 12-year-old Wood Cow named Helga, has an irrepressible spirit of revolution. She never intended to lead a revolution in the first place. It just sort of happened because she wouldn’t go along with the "rules of normal" that make injustice "normal." In some of my novels, you'll find her somewhere near the social dynamite with a fiery spirit.
