Author Biography

I am an old-school writer. I like stories that engage the audience with solid storytelling skills. That said, I also believe technology has its place in honing our writing abilities. I have written half a dozen books and screenplays and developed several game apps. I love being creative and can't keep my hands out of the cookie jar. The 5 Moons of Tiiana is a long-time creation of mine. When I wrote it, I envisioned a coffee table book filled with images of the fascinating creatures and places on the moons of Tiiana. The special edition of 5 Moons does exactly that. It merges the written story with a kaleidoscope of images, taking the story to the next level. I hope you enjoy it! With any hope at all, I hope you'll take a look and let me know what you think. Thank
you!

The Relcor, an alien race of savages, were preparing to take over Corin, the capital of Melela, and requested a formal handover ceremony with the Imperial government. Considering that they had ruthlessly conquered the thirty-two sister planets of Melela, their request was a ruse. They intended to catch the Imperial army unawares during the ceremony and create a bloodbath. Princess Leanna, the Emperor's only daughter, was to be spared for Juc T’Krola, the heathen ruler of the Relcors. Getting wind of this, the Empress moves fast to save her young daughter from her ugly fate. She asks Rez, a captain in the Imperial army, and the only soldier that could be trusted, to get her daughter out of Melela and take her off world or anywhere safe. Rez works out a plan to successfully get the princess out of Melela. However, as they fly away, all hell breaks loose in Corin, and their spaceship is hit. Rez wakes up on Urlena, one of the five moons of Tiiana, with no princess in sight. He had lost her. Will he ever find her?
