I've been a scifi reader ever since I can remember. I also read comics and graphic novels and gave away hundreds of what are now golden age classics (if only I knew then what I know now)
I write young adult scifi because It's what I know most of and do best.
When not writing or taking care of the family I play on the PS3 and PS4 (Uncharted, Infamous, MGS, AC.) and watch TV shows like Bones, Elementary, HIGNFY, The Big Bang Theory. I do a fair amount of research for my books so it's tough for example when I do a weeks research and writing for a scene I then delete because it doesn't work overall.
For 'Nanopunk' I made several changes to fit in what was happening with nanotechnology, genetics, the internet and cyber-crime.
Since finishing it, I've been updating the website to reflect more current events.
