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 a site to help people with disABILITIES, and to provide some fun resources and info for science fiction fans and people who want resources to become better writers. But if this is your first visit: please click on WELCOME so I can give you an overview of the scope and reasons for this site and the resources I offer -- as well as introduce myself (briefly, I promise - if you're a real glutton for punishment, there is a link to a more verbose autobiographical essay on my Menu of disability, personal, science fiction, and writer's pages on this site). 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.

(But here is a little shameless self-promotion because my first three books were recently published.

The first is: Click on cover on left for more info and info on buying People First! This is is a multi-genre anthology of some of my short fiction (2/3 previously published and 1/3 original - much of it science fiction previously published in Analog Science Fiction and Fact, including a Nebula award recommended novella written for Analog Science Fiction and Fact magazine which was given an honorable mention in Gardner Dozois' Year's Best Science Fiction, 7th Annual Collection, (1990, St. Martin's: New York). Each story has a disABLED main character in exciting and challenging situations . This book was motivated by my own extensive disABILITIES 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 from the book

And the second is: click on cover on 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. For more info on the book (in addition to the link you get by clicking on the cover picture, go to:

Book description and Samples)

The third is not a disABILITY book, but science fiction: Click on cover picture for info and a link to order No World Warranty 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 I wrote for Analog Science Fiction and Fact magazine - the second of which was given an honorable mention in Gardner Dozois' Year's Best Science Fiction, 8th Annual Collection, (1991, St. Martin's: New York).

My other publications are listed on my Bibliography

NOTE: I have split this up into sections on separate pages due to the amount of information, but this main page still takes a little while to fully load if on 'dial-up', so please wait for it to fully load (no 'pretty pictures ', animations, or such crap).
