Scientist. Writer. Muay Thai fighter.
I am a trained Marine biologist and hold a PhD in comparative endocrinology as well as multiple post-grad certifications in pharmaceutical industry-related disciplines. Currently, I work in medical affairs on new cancer therapies for the pharmaceutical industry. I am also a founding member of the Vesuvian Media Group, Inc - a unique books-to-film corporation.
I have lived in the USA, Portugal, the Netherlands, Singapore and currently Switzerland. I have hand-tagged sharks in California; and trained in various martial arts, including Jeet Kune Do, Muay Thai, and MMA at the EVOLVE MMA gym in Singapore and Pheonix KampfSport Switzerland.
I am also an award-winning author and member of both the Science Fiction Writers of America and the British Science Fiction Association.
My first novel Children of the Fifth Sun was published July 2017, and was named the winner of the science fiction category at the London Book Festival 2017, and is a Silver Falchion Award Finalist (winner TBD). Its sequel, Echelon, just won the 2018 Hollywood Book Festival science fiction category.
My second venture, It Takes Death to Reach a Star (co-authored with Stu Jones) was published in May 2018, and named winner of the sci fi category of the science fiction category at the new York Book Festival 2018, and is a 2018 Dragon Award finalist.
All of my books are in development for TV/Film.
I am represented by Renee C. Fountain and Italia Gandolfo of Gandolfo-Helin-Fountain literary Management. PR for my books is handled through a partnership between my publisher Vesuvian Books and Meryl Moss Media.
