I'm currently working on a sci-fi novel series of what you'd call a speculative fiction bent. It deals with the evolution of the human species and its effects on society.

Mostly fantasy, sometimes sci-fi, always fiction.

My novel SCAPEGOATS (Golden Fleece Press March 2018) is SF-ish. The goats from Leviticus 16:21 decide to organize in order to counter-balance the load of sin they are required to bear. The book gives a good shellacking to organized religion while preserving some "specialness" as having happened; it's a tossup as to whether the specialness is material or not. Best take-away line from the book is "How, precisely, are we supposed to fight a war if we're not allowed to, you know, shoot anybody?" The sequel, WAITING FOR GOAT-0, is square in the SF camp. I am an accidental writer. I had two personal research projects, one rationalizing external costs of fossil fuel with a view toward minimizing lung disease, and another analyzing out of place information artifacts in ancient texts. Neither went anywhere; My wife told me to do a Dan Brown and stick them in a novel. While my wife was manning a both for Wilkes at the AWWP convention in DC, I walked my sample around the tables, and the last table I saw was apparently a perfect fit. Two weeks after we got back to New York, I got an email requesting a full MS, which I had to scramble to finish, and three months later they sent me a contract.
