Mottos I live and lecture with

"If what you have doesn't work, work with what you have!"

"Focus on what you do have and are able to do -- not on what you don't have or can't do!"

And most importantly: "Affect has a very real effect!"

This is not just a site for people with disabilities, because I have posted links to reprints of some of my fiction and non-fiction publications, as well as a wide variety of neat science fiction links and writer's resources for anyone to enjoy and take advantage of.

Each story has a disABLED main character in exciting and challenging situations . This book was motivated by my own extensivedisABILITIES and desire to entertain mainstream readers and inspire readers with disabilities to LIVE! But it's meant to be a fun read for all, using science fiction, romance, horror, and suspense — and if it also happens to inform, motivate, and inspire, then so much the better. Samples are available here) The second is cover picture of my third book (D) click on the cover on the left for more info and a link to buy Laugh or Cry: Finding the Lighter Side of disABILITIES Co-authored with Hollywood producer Sharon Hulihan who also has M.S., this large print collection of anecdotes and essays by and for people with disABILITIES is aimed at entertaining and educating both mainstream and disABLED readers by showing the strength of humor as a healing and empowering force.

Blending high tech with romance and action, this epic science fiction tale involves using nanotechnology and genetically altered plant and animal life (altered to reproduce at an accellerated rate) to build a second home for humanity after misused nanotechnology almost destroys Earth. Through nanotechnology, we convert a dead planet the size of Mars into a living world for us to colonize - however, by the time we get there it turns out we're not alone; and not exactly welcome! It is based on, and continues, two Nebula Award recommended novellas written for Analog Science Fiction and Fact magazine - the second of which was given an honorable mention in Gardner Dozois' annual Year's Best Science Fiction, 8th Annual Collection, (1991, St. Martin's: New York).
