I’m the author of The Forever Gate, a dystopian fantasy published January 1st, 2013. I’m also a former game designer, and I have a degree in Engineering Physics. I’ve written for technical magazines such as Dr. Dobbs and Javaworld, coauthored a traditionally-published technical book, and written a fitness ebook. I’ve been writing fiction part-time since 1997.

This is my personal blog. My goal is to help you learn about the publishing industry and discover new authors.

I write about productivity, blogging, motivation, social media, writing, and marketing. I occasionally veer off topic and write about stuff that doesn’t fit into any of those categories.

With this blog I hope to create insightful posts that will help you in your personal and professional life, and steer you towards new worlds of wonder. If you are a reader of fantasy or science fiction, or a writer of any kind, then this blog is for you.

I blog anywhere from one to three times a week. To make sure you don’t miss any of my posts, subscribe to my blog via my RSS feed, or by email.

Outside of writing, I work as a software consultant for a leading telecommunications company. In my free time, I enjoy writing, reading, cycling, traveling and movies. I am a member of the Writers Guild of Alberta.

I spend most of my time in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada, though I’ve been known to vanish every two years or so to Rome, Italy for six months, where I visit with cousins and drink fresh wine.

Oh, and I like pie.
