I am an avid lover of Science Fiction with a little horror thrown in. Early influences include Frank Herbert, Issac Asimov, Octavia Butler and Nancy Kress. My debut novel 'State of Decay' was published by Roc in 2010, and has since been followed by 'The Silent Army' and 'Element Zero'. My new novel 'The Burn Zone' is slated for release I believe sometime in 2012.
