My passion for the natural world is what inspires much of my writing. I grew up reading the arctic stories of Jack London, and I enjoy the prehistoric world of Michael Crichton. Most of all, though, I love the boundless vision of Michael Ende, author of The Neverending Story. When I write, I try to create a world that the reader wants to stay in, that stimulates thought as well as imagination, and that gives people something they can take with them.

My new series, The Feral World, is coming out this year. It takes place 3,000 years from now, after an asteroid has destroyed our civilization, and when people live as hunter-gatherers again. It's the story of a small band of people who are looking for a new home. Once they find it, they must then defend it against an advanced race of conquerers from another land. The first book, Migration of the Kamishi, was released in June 2007. The second book, Trials of the Warmland, is due for release in February 2008 and the third book, Riders of the Mapinguari, in September 2008.
