My books are offered through Podiobooks.com and the iTunes Music Store as free audio downloads. I don't sell them.

Podiobooks rules. It's still the best way I know to find an audience for longer works in any genre.

My characters are all "just people" - people you might know - and the things that happen are things that anybody might do if they lived on a freighter that spent most of its time in the Deep Dark.

I had to decide if I wanted to be known as a writer or a reader. I chose writer.

Coffee takes on an almost ritualistic meaning. I learned that from being on hurricane patrol for a year in the North Atlantic.

I only read on my phone and the whole "let's see if we can get people to do it" idea seems less "wouldn't it be cool if we could get people to do it" and more "what else would people do."

specialize in small cast/single reader long fiction so I only compete against other podcasts of novels in that form.
