Novels
My novels are psychological thrillers, where individuals confront moral choices in response to today’s environmental and social challenges. Although the books provide an intellectually honest treatment of the dilemmas facing us all, they lead ordinary characters into extraordinary situations and unexpected action. As the stories unfold, the character’s life is transformed.
Wormhole Prophesies
The Unraveling of a Serious Man
Prize-winning physicist Gene O’Day was a serious and successful man: a brilliant academic scholar, a thoughtful husband to his wife, and a loving father to four grown children. No one suspects, but all is not well. Facing the challenges of his retirement profoundly alters his view of reality. Gene’s new and bizarre world-view is reinforced by his training in physics – training that allows heinous thoughts and actions to be seamlessly integrated into his daily life. As events unfold in this psycho-thriller, a seemingly normal life is transformed, through delusions, to that of an extremist. To order, please click here.
Knowing the Future
This futuristic story is an expansion and follow-on to my previous novel “Wormhole Prophecies“. The book follows three generations of a family as they attempt to save the world from a climate-induced disaster. In order to save billions of people from starvation and pandemics, the family plans and executes a series of covert activities to change the course of history. These covert activities bring the reader face-to-face with political intrigue, sabotage, and murder. As the characters confront powerful enemies and personal danger they, and the reader, will rethink the moral choices guiding their behavior. To order, please click here.
Haiku Books
My Haiku books focus on nature and the human condition (including human biology, cognition, emotions, habits, and relationships) and are based on my first-hand experience.

By their nature each Haiku presents a very personal image of the natural world. These images reflecting my 50 years of immersion in nature, but each reader should bring their own relationship to nature to bear.

Haiku Snapshots: Reflections on Drug Addiction
These poems are about my relationship, in life and in death, with my son Jason. His struggle, lasting more than half his life, with drug addiction ended in an overdose. I hope these poems will bring you comfort in knowing that you are not alone in your feeling of regret, longing, and grief. To order, please click here.
Haiku of a Trapped Soul
These Haiku reflect my inner thoughts that, at the same time, are personal and universal. This book makes public what life has taught me about my small and ephemeral place in the universe.
