Brief Author Bio:

I am shocked to realize that this year marks my 26th year as a computer programer, and my 20th year as a technical writer. I made my first non-fiction sale in 1989. From then until 1999, I divided my time between writing about programming and programming. Then in 1999 I became a full-time technical writer, documenting Microsoft's database objects. Since 2003, I have spent my days writing about software and my nights writing fiction. I have sold some flash fiction, and have four complete NaNoWriMo novels, none of which have sold yet, (note the "yet!") and am getting ready for another. This year, however, I'm hoping for a real break-through. If I sell this year's novel, i plan on making a nice "thank you" donation to NaNoWriMo.

Synopsis: Strange Bedfellows

When rising young attorney, Sarah Jordan, is invited to run for Mayor of Carpenter's Point, she is flattered and accepts with pleasure, only to find out that her opponent happens to be her ex-husband, Paul Bradford. The say that politics makes strange bedfellows, but this race turns out to be more than either of them anticipated.

Nobody knows your deepest, darkest secrets better than your ex. It's a long hard-fought race; especially when the esteemed opponents find they are more interested in reaching out to the other side then they ever anticipated.
