Sobre mimI'm a science fiction novelist, blogger, and web programmer who lives outside of Washington, D.C. I was a finalist for the 2008 John W. Campbell Award for Best New Writer.

My first novel, Infoquake, was published in summer 2006 by Pyr, an imprint of Prometheus Books. Barnes & Noble Explorations called the book "the love child of Donald Trump and Vernor Vinge," then later named it their Top SF Novel of 2006. Infoquake was also nominated for the John W. Campbell Memorial Award for Best Novel. The book was re-released in mass market paperback by Solaris Books in June 2008.

My second novel, MultiReal (the sequel to Infoquake), was released in July 2008 by Pyr, and has already been called "a thoroughly-successful hybrid of Neuromancer and Wall Street" by Hugo nominee Peter Watts. I'm currently at work on Geosynchron, the third book in the Jump 225 trilogy.

The year 2008 has also seen the publication of my short story "Mathralon" in The Solaris Book of New Science Fiction, Volume 2, and my introduction to Overlook Press' new edition of Mervyn Peake's Titus Alone.

In addition to writing novels, I have also programmed websites for the U.S. Army, the FBI, ExxonMobil, and Rolls-Royce; taught software to the U.S. Congress and the World Bank; written articles for the Washington Post and Baltimore Sun; and directed the marketing departments of biometric and e-commerce companies. I am well-versed in PHP, Ruby on Rails, WordPress, ColdFusion, HTML, Javascript, XML, and CSS, and am an expert in web usability, web design, search engine optimization, and writing for the web.

I was born in Birmingham, Alabama in 1971 and grew up in Orange County, California. I attended the Johns Hopkins University's Writing Seminars program from 1989 to 1993, where I studied under such writers as Edna O'Brien, Madison Smartt Bell, and Stephen Dixon. I'm married to Victoria Edelman, an attorney and expert in litigation support technology.

Sobre a minha bibliotecaI've got a thing for hardcovers. Doesn't necessarily need to be a first or limited edition... any ol' hardcover will do, as long as it's in excellent shape.

But if a hardcover isn't available, then a nice matched set of trade paperbacks will do just fine. I salivate over the day when I can finally complete my collection of the Vintage editions of Philip K. Dick's novels...
