Brief Author Bio: I'm a four-year cancer survivor. I travel a lot for work, so it's not easy to meet up with my northern NJ (Sussex, Warren Counties) NaNo peers ... although perhaps this year I'll manage it! My short novel "The Firflake - A Christmas Story" is now available from Amazon, Barnes & Noble, and your local independent bookstore. |

Synopsis: Driscoll of the Denthen System (working title)
This is meant to be classic Edgar Rice Burroughs-style pulp adventure fiction in the sci-fi mode: think John Carter, Warlord of Mars; Carson of Venus; and the classic DC Comics 1960s version of Adam Strange from "Strange Adventures."
Rory Driscoll is an earthman mysteriously transported to an alien star system. How did he get there, what is he supposed to accomplish, and how does he get home to his son? And what does it all have to do with his late wife?
