About my fiction

My fiction is born out of my love of complex social systems, cities, technology, and science fiction. Now I get to combine these interests to imagine better futures for humans. Writing fiction is my retirement gig after a career that meandered through information systems, higher education, and electronic governance. Much of that work tried to improve the future for individuals, society and the world.

Here I post short vignettes set in my future worlds, ideas and images that inspire my writing, and news about stories I've published. I work mostly in two worlds. In 2050, I explore how things might change in the next thirty years. In 2500, the tech is cooler and the social engineering is more extreme. I also write occasional stories that are out of this world.

If you'd like to hear about fresh-baked stories, or just to stay in touch, please subscribe to my mailing list. You will get a free copy of my short story Co-creation (in e-book format) and my quarterly newsletter with updates. No overwhelm, I promise. You will also get my email address so you can contact me directly.
