About the Author:

I am a 32 year old New York resident currently living in Queens. I am married with one son. I have enjoyed spending time telling, listening to, and creating oral stories. My experiences with the open source community, time spent as a computer professional, and my own varied experiences inspired my first science fiction thriller, Thicker Than Blood. I hope to continue this story as part of a four book series.
