Hey there! I’m a bit of a jack-of-all-trades. I love to read and write, with a particular fondness for sci-fi, memoirs, and fantasy. I’m also a dancer, a collector of books, and have a knack for memorizing things (though I’ve lost my mind a time or two!). Oh, and I’m a pink alien at heart with a healthy dose of optimism.
While small talk isn't my strong suit, I’m a friendly soul and these days, I’ve even got an ordination certificate from Dudeism!
When it comes to writing, I focus on the world around me, and my fiction and fantasy shorts have had me thinking about bending reality. I once produced, directed, and wrote over 30 short films in just a few weeks—because why not?
Award-winning author of more than sixty books of science fiction, fantasy, and nonfiction for readers of all ages. Actor, singer, and playwright, too. Also husband, father, and cat-lover.
