I'm getting ready to publish a sci-fi trilogy. A Stand-in for Dying (SIFD) is an enlarged and reimagined version of The Methuselarity Transformation, spun out from the midpoint into a different story and conclusion. In Brink of Life (BOL), a woman plunges into consciousness in the midst of what seems like someone else’s life, sending her on a quest to discover who she is and to craft an identity that makes sense of her new reality. The Creators, the third book of the trilogy, follows the quest of a precocious young woman from SIFD to make contact with the creators from another dimension who may have designed our genetic code. It elaborates upon a new creationist religion introduced in SIFD and rooted in scientific discovery. Her story intersects with two other stories that extend the conflict from BOL. The resulting synthesis builds to a thrilling climax that suggests answers to some of life’s big questions, while providing a hopeful glimpse of a distant future.
The trilogy should be in print and on Kindle by the end of November 2019.

I peered into the mirror. Nobody looked back.

There has been lots of buzz in the young tech community about the coming technological Singularity (according to Ray Kurzweil) and its implication for being able to achieve something close to immortality. From the vantage point of age, I envisioned a spectrum of unintended consequences of drastic life extension and crafted a cautionary tale to illustrate one such scenario.

My most helpful strategy has been aerobic exercise. Whether a sprint on the elliptical machine or a walk on the beach, movement seems to unlock the creative process and leads to unexpected insights about the direction of the story. It's been the best way for my characters to find their way out of impossible fixes and around insurmountable obstacles.
