More about me

I write "racy, wildly entertaining futuristic romance" according to Writers Write. It’s my pleasure to pen Romances with Aliens.... the aliens are gods from outer space. My books are somewhere in the gamut of Romance from fantasy to science fiction.

My goal as an author is to give good value. I write to entertain: I expect to provide my readers with six to eight hours of amusement, a couple of really good laughs, a romantic frisson or two from the sensual scenes, a thoroughly satisfying happy ending, and something to think --or talk-- about when the book is finished, and possibly some useful information.

All my titles are chess puns. "Forced Mate" is from Pandolfini's term for a race between the two Kings to make a pawn his Queen. In chess terminology "Insufficient Mating Material" is when the players realize that no matter how badly or well they play, no one will checkmate the other. A "Knight's fork" is when two or more pieces are threatened simultaneously, and only one can be saved.
