I'm the author of Runaway Dragonette (what if "the Bachelorette" was a shapeshifting dragon princess?), Valkyrie on Planet Fury (why the Furies make really bad hostesses), Gravitas: Valkyrie in the Forbidden Zone (a unique look at human-alien First Contact), Valkyrie in the Demon Realm (demons and aphrodisiacs don't mix), The Falstaff Vampire Files (Sir John Falstaff, undead and misbehaving in San Francisco), The Bride of the Living Dead (a romantic comedy for women who love monster movies too much), and four books in the mystery series featuring Josephine Fuller, sleuth of size who doesn't apologize Larger Than Death, Large Target, At Large and A Ton of Trouble. Newspapers and magazines have published my essays, reviews and interviews—including my favorite with Darlene Cates, star of "What's Eating Gilbert Grape"! Many of these short pieces can be found on my web page. I live in San Francisco. When not writing, I can be found reading and spoiling my cats.
