debut story: ‘Fireweed’ is included in this global anthology of
short stories alongside Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie, Jhumpa Lahiri,
and twenty other wonderful writers.
From the Introduction: “The concept
of One World is often a multi-colored tapestry into which sundry,
if not contending patterns can be woven. for those of us who worked
on this project, ‘One World’ goes beyond the everyday
notion of the globe as a physical geographic entity. Rather, we
understand it as a universal idea,
one that transcends national boundaries to comment on the most prevailing
aspects of the human condition.
This attempt to redefine the borders of the world we live in through
the short story recognizes the many conflicting issues of race,
language, economy, gender and ethnicity, which separate and limit
us. We readily acknowledge, however, that regardless of our differences
or the disparities in our stories, we are united by our humanity.
We invite the reader on a personal journey
across continents, countries,
cultures and landscapes, to reflect on these beautiful, at times
chaotic, renditions on the human experience. We hope the reach of
this path will transcend the borders of each story, and perhaps
function as an agent of change. Welcome to our world.”

2040 (a novel) - My
first novel, science ficiton.
In the year 2040, John Smith’s top priority is to avoid enslavement
by the Orwellian United States of The World. His efforts are thwarted
when he stumbles upon evidence of a plot to kill off the entire
population of Earth, save for a few masterminds who will be going
underground to avoid a nanobot plague. With the help from a fortune-telling,
revolutionary Madam D and the very genius scientist who created
the plague, John tries to stop this evil plan, his only reason for
living just at the moment when world wide death seems imminent.

Like Marbles (a novel)
- A second, science-fiction, novel written for NanoWrio in 2007.
A peek into the lives of those affected by a shift of universal
gravity, a rambunctious clan of omipowerful pranksters, and universal
truth. From Tephanie Mith trying to plan her wedding day upon the
realization that all the knives on Earth have dissapeared, to the
General who's already eccentric disposition is riled by the transformation
of fissile materials into sweet sugar, to those on Planet C (the
ones with two-heads) or Planet Y (with the lava blood) everyone
gives insight into the human experience, whether they're human or
not. |
