I began writing fantasy stories when I was five, and started making illustrations when I was nine. I found music later, when I attended the New Orleans Center for the Creative Arts. I discovered that I loved music, especially that of Stravinsky, Varese and others and I lived the life of a composer for many years.

When I finished with school (Doctorate in Music Composition, Cornell University), I started my  performance group, CHIRON Performing Arts, through which I’ve presented the work of hundreds of artists of all disciplines. 

When I first started writing these stories down, I was not satisfied, but when I started my home studio and began creating the narration and music together, they took flight and my personal unique path to rich ‘immersive’ storytelling was begun.

I created the first two books of TOC and then worked on other projects for a while; symphonies, chamber music, environmental music, and then I started a new concert series, The Phantastic Theater, when my daughter, Sofia, was born.  For this, I created works which combine symphonic music, live players, visual projection, giant puppets, and dance and voice-acting to create beautiful presentations like living books.  I even made a couple movies.

Then it was time to return to the heart project, the most important one, the story I had in my mind for all of these years, Tales Of The Ocean City.  

In 2022 I wrote the final three books of the initial adventure sequence, The Vorm War, which tells of the adventures of Harl’ut and Vispushin, the telepathic pegasus of the race I named Perianths, and the other brilliant characters who inhabit the planet Tir’whol.
