I’m an engineer but I’m also creative. I’ve designed and built one-of-a-kind systems for entertainment and theme parks for a long time. I’ve always had an overriding passion for writing, especially suspense thrillers. Before publishing my first novel, I wrote a dozen live stunt show scripts, created concepts for scores of theme park rides and attractions, and authored hundreds of winning project proposals, most of which I’ve built and installed all around the world. For example, one highly successful project seen by billions of people around the world was the Olympic Cauldron Flame for the 2006 games in Torino, Italy. Chances are, if you’ve been to a theme park in the USA, Asia, Europe or England, you’ve enjoyed an amazing attraction I’ve helped to create. Defenseless is the first of three novels with the sequel, Merciless, in the works. I live with my family in Orlando, Florida.
