I've been a musician and author for nearly thirty years, with music often taking precedence until 2013. My novels are usually literary fantasy and the music is either instrumental rock or acoustic guitar, though I now also have a metal band called Z-Order. Read more in my personal bio, musician bio, or author bio.
I have eight metal plates in my head, build my own guitars, suffered a crippling case of tendonitis, play multiple instruments, and work as a software developer, though my degree is in classical guitar.

The first four albums are available as physical CDs (later discs are digital-only) and I encourage you to buy them directy from me, which is most easily done from the discography page. I can autograph them upon request (just say so in the Paypal order). You can also buy full album mp3s directly from me the same way. In both cases, all of your money goes to me instead of more than half going to Apple or CDBaby.
