I am the author of three books, two novels and a collection of short stories: Captivity (coming in February 2008), Trutor & the Balloonist, and The Earth and the Sky: Stories. You can find out more about my books at http://www.trutor.net as well; all of my books can be ordered from the major online bookseller sites or your local bookstore. My new novel, Captivity, addresses the treatment of captive chimpanzees in the United States, and so I especially welcome any comments about issues pertaining to non-human primate rights and animal behavior.
For aspiring writers: my website also offers tips for fiction writers and a blog about literary matters.
Of course, I'm an avid reader, especially of contemporary literary fiction. Right now, I have a fondness for postmodern novels, global fiction, and social issues fiction, although my readings tastes are decidedly eclectic, from page-turning thrillers to densely written novels written by Nobel Prize winners. My fiction reflects my diverse interests, as I tend to write page-turner novels that deal with serious topics.
In addition to writing fiction, I teach English at Lehigh University.
