Kismet     Updates Mondays
A series of interwoven comics and short stories -- science fiction, action, humor -- telling the story of the 27th-century mining colony Kismet and its rotating cast of characters. Hunter's Moon, a complete 340-page graphic novel, is the recommended starting point for the Kismetverse. The current graphic novel, Sun-Cutter, has just begun updating. Kismet City Limits is a series of self-contained Kismet short stories, 8-20 pages long. See Kismetcity.com for complete chronological list of stories and graphic novels.

Freebird     Between storylines
Alaskan slice-of-life/humor strip comic. Karen Bird drove north until she couldn't go any farther. She ended up in Fairbanks, Alaska ... and there her adventure began. This strip appeared in the Fairbanks entertainment paper "square" until its demise. The storyline wrapped up online, and the comic is currently on hiatus.

Raven's Children     One story arc complete; on semi-permanent hiatus
Dark fantasy; currently two graphic novels available (parts of them online). This was my first published project (started in 2000) and I have problems with it -- fair warning! I do plan to pick it up again someday, but it's a low-priority project right now. The two existing TPBs are available from Ester Republic Press and there are samples on my website.

Midnight Sun     On hiatus pending major revisions
Alaska superhero comic. There are about 20 pages right now, but I'm tinkering with the storyline and it's on indefinite hiatus. Website has been taken down pending revisions.

Other Comics     Rarely updated
Old comics, one-shots, anthology submissions, projects currently in development or on hold. It's over yonder.
