"The worlds I create provide a certain level of exploration for me personally, but also attempt to entertain others who imagine a Universe larger than our single world. While many may draw comparisons with other stories, I believe my characters add another dimension that is often rare in this genre. Tyler Jensen, the main character in the Onyalum Series, is a very flawed drug dealer from los Angeles who constantly battles his addictive side amidst a background of cosmic intrigue. What better person to toss into the Universe with an Onyalum? The journey is exciting, and one might learn along with Tyler that there is more among the stars than is imagined by man. "
