I've been writing for fun for years.  I'm still having fun, but now wish to turn imagination and words into a business. 

My first book was an Old West saga.  It had a readership of three. 

Inspired by my favorite vampire fantasy, Twilight, I've turned to creating fun, engaging characters with unusual abilities. 

In Tatrice, I introduce Donna and Giovanni.
Donna, a beautiful twenty-something who has yet to achieve the next level in a relationship, has received a marriage proposal from a man claiming to be immortal, but she fears he is actually more interested in her imaginary friend. 

Donna, a writer for a mid-western magazine, has been sent to interview Giovanni Bonfiglio but he asks more questions than he answers.  All the while Donna's alter ego, a lovely swimmer, distracts her with aquatic acrobatics.  Giovanni Bonfiglio seems to be able to see the imaginary swimmer although no one in the world knows about it.  Donna is certain mental illness causes him to insist he is ten thousand years old, give or take a couple of centuries.  After meeting his best friend, Cho, she comes to the logical conclusion mass hysteria or artful scamming is to blame for the two of them claiming they are among many who have been alive forever.

In Bill, the sequel to Tatrice,  Giovanni and Donna are expecting their first child. They wonder if the child will be immortal like his father. John and Cho meet more immortals and learn their origins.

In Lionel, the children of Giovanni and Cho take over telling the story. A worldwide plague kills nearly everyone but the immortals.

In The Designer, all the immortals in the world are reunited. They learn that omniscient beings have been interferring with Earth for billions of years. In fact, they are still doing it. You will have to read the book to learn the surprising secret Donna and her "imaginary friend" have been keeping.
