I am a writer in Rhode Island. My credits include numerous non-fiction articles and book reviews. I also wrote a monthly newspaper column on infectious diseases for six years. Some of my short stories have appeared in Science, Futures Mysterious Anthology Magazine, Writer’s Digest: The Year’s Best Writing, and the Maryland Writers Association 2022 anthology, Caption This! Embark published the opening chapter from my historical fiction manuscript, The Fever Hut; it also received a “notable mention” in the 2021 Chapter One Prize. My debut historical novel, Shadow of the Moon, was published by Wild Rose Press in March 2023. My second novel, The Fever Hut, will be released in February 2024, and a third novel, The Cottage Industry, was published in June 2024.
