I'm an experienced narrative designer/writer/editor. I began my industry career with Richard Garriot and Origin Systems/EA writing game manuals and collateral content (Ultima Online). I've created original stories, scripting, lore, and content for such games as City of Heroes/Villains, Dungeon Runners & Tabula Rasa (NCsoft), Duels (Challenge Games/Zynga Austin), Chronicles of Herenvale (MOSOSH), Ravenskye City & Ravenwood Fair (Roaring Bull/Lolapps), SyFy's Monster Island (Sneaky Games), Elements: Broken Lands (Chaotic Moon), Pearl's Peril, Agent Alice, Mass Ammo (Wooga), the science fantasy MMO Splinters of Ares (BullTiger Productions), and with One More Story Games, where I am developing licensed literary properties into interactive media (including the work of Charlaine Harris of True Blood fame and an original horror story/game).

My Berlin Wooga writing team was a finalist in the 2014 Develop Awards for Use of Narrative. I'm a member of the Writers Guild of America West Video Game Writers Caucus.

My latest work (as a contract writer) was for wargaming.net (Belarus).

I have also been a professional writer for over 25 years, with credits in writing short stories, game strategy books, non-fiction game articles/reviews as a magazine editor (Computer Games Magazine & GameSpy), comic books, and screenplays. I'm currently published by Perseid Press, which is owned by fantasy/science fiction author Janet Morris.
