I’m happy to announce that Merry and I will be at the Public Library for a book signing on Saturday, November 30, from 11:00 AM to 12:00 PM. We will be on the lower level at the Public Library Bookshop at the Downtown Library, 501 Copper NW. We’ll be bringing both our books, and we look forward to chatting with you about our work and books in general. We are also delighted to help celebrate the library’s vital contribution to our community.
We look forward to seeing you at the Library on Saturday. In the meantime, browse the site to learn more about Merry and my books: How Mother Rat Invented the World, a fairy tale for children and the young at heart featuring a wise mother rat, and Swarm: Metamorphosis, a fantasy adventure set in the Bronze age of Homer for young adults and older fantasy lovers. Also, I hope you will enjoy the poetry, essays, and short fiction published on this website.
How Mother Rat Invented the World is a secular creation myth, a love letter to science and invention, a celebration of nature, and a children’s story for everyone, no matter their age, who embraces imagination, an open heart, and an enduring sense of wonder.
Swarm: Metamorphosis begins when Astrid Lund inherits her mother’s cats, five ordinary animals whose single extraordinary ability places them at the center of a three thousand year-old vendetta. Soon, Astrid finds herself and her animals transported to the time and place of the cats’ origin, the Homeric Bronze Age. Stranded amidst the violence of the Trojan war, Astrid confronts a deadly enchantress’ tragic mistake, the mystery of her mother’s past, and her own terrifying transformation.
Please take a look at my short works, a collection of poems, short fiction, and essays published here on my web site.
