    Basic Info

    Bio
    Author, editor, musician, baseball fan, and all-around long-haired hippie weirdo freak.

    I've written a whole lot of novels, novellas, short stories, eBooks, comic books, and nonfiction, a good chunk of them in various media tie-in universes: Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Cars, Command and Conquer, Doctor Who, Farscape, Gene Roddenberry's Andromeda, Leverage, Magic: The Gathering, Marvel Comics, Resident Evil, The Scattered Earth, Serenity, Star Trek, StarCraft, Supernatural, World of Warcraft, Xena, Young Hercules, and Zorro.

    I've also got several stories out in my own universe of high-fantasy police procedurals, including two novels (Dragon Precinct and Unicorn Precinct, with Goblin Precinct coming in 2012), and several short stories. In 2011, I debuted Super City Police Department, a new series of novels about cops in a city filled with superheroes and super-villains.

    I'm also an editor, both of dozens of anthologies (most recently Doctor Who: Short Trips: The Quality of Leadership, Star Trek: Tales of the Dominion War, Star Trek: Tales from the Captain's Table, and Imaginings: An Anthology of Long Short Fiction) and several book lines (the Marvel Comics novels published by Berkley from 1994-2000, the monthly Star Trek eBook line published by Pocket from 2000-2008). I'm currently offering editorial services to any writers who might need some professional work on their novels and/or short stories via KRADitorial.

    Musically, I'm a percussionist, currently with the parody band, the Boogie Knights. I've also played on stage and/or in the studio with the Don't Quit Your Day Job Players, David Honigsberg, Steve Rosenhaus, and the Randy Bandits.

    I've posted a general intro on my LJ here (updated 9 October 2011), and the most up-to-date version of my bibliography is here (updated 22 March 2012).

    I don't want to achieve immortality through my work. I want to achieve immortality through not dying.
