Welcome

You are standing in the guest house of my writing life. Feel free to adjust the lighting and temperature to suit your tastes. While you're here, please explore my stories.

I write young adult novels with more than a touch of the supernatural. I also write some flavor of science fiction involving a fresh take on the ever-clichéd FBI and gray aliens. Though fun and sometimes horrific on the surface, my stories ebb & flow with emotional undercurrents that propel the characters to influence -- and grow from -- the story events.

Although my objective is to write saleable, marketable novels that entertain the reader, I take pride in building stories upon classic themes such as responsibility, redemption, and self-sacrifice. I am influenced by teh writing ofNeal Shusterman, F. Scott Fitzgerald, William Sleator, and Dean Koontz.

I'm thrilled that you paid me a visit, and I hope you'll read my samples and drop me a line or join me on facebook if the spirit moves you.

Cheers,
MJ
