Art

As an illustrator, my artwork has appeared on GALAXY, FANTASY AND SCIENCE FICTION and VERTEX and books both hardcover and paperback. I was a founding member of ASFA, the Association of Science Fiction Artists. My last professional work of art was the cover of my own novel, PSYCHLONE, in reprint from Tor. I do very little artwork now, devoting myself almost exclusively to writing.
