Identity

Identity is a science fiction psychological thriller, set in a future where years of progress have come at a cost. Decades of wars and struggle forced the need for a unique solution. Desperate, a system of governance was formed based on genetic predisposition. Leaders centered their rule of law and obedience on a strict quasi-religious interpretation of scientific principles. The strife ends, technology advances at a staggering rate and the human race flourishes. Or does it? After years of dividing society along genetic lines, those born into privilege take what they have for granted. However, the lines of separation are not as clear as they wish them to be. One violent act exposes the fragility and dangers of dictated perceptions.

After years of working in the aerospace industry, my fascination with stories and people's lives led me to study writing. I have a deep respect for how well-crafted writing can both convey a message and hold the reader's interest. The stories I write encompass large themes by bringing them down to the personal level. The people in my stories struggle with the triumphs and failings over their position in life. They face decisions, chances and fates that force them into reactions and hard choices. Putting a story together, whether written, spoken or sung is not a random act; it requires attention to both content and presentation. My hope is that readers will read not only for entertainment, but also to learn and ask further questions.
