Hi. Welcome to my website! I’m glad you stopped by to check it out.

For those of you who might wonder whether this is my real name, the answer is “Sorta.” It turns out that my real name is very popular online—if you search it you get hundreds of hits, even a 17th century Scottish lord. That wasn’t going to do it for an author publishing for the first time.

I’m very excited to have published my first book, entitled The Conscripted Extremist. It’s about . . . well it’s easiest just to tell you how the book’s back cover describes it (please click on the tab above :)).

I’m working on two other books which I hope to publish over the next few months. Like The Conscripted Extremist, one is based on political conflicts (this time global), while the other involves philosophical and religious issues. However, they are both thrillers with lots of action, a mix of the real world, a dash of what I hope you’ll think is humor, and conniving villains. I’ll keep you posted.

I live with my wife in New York City.  I’ve always meant to write novels but took a long while to get to it. I’ve often appeared as an expert guest on television in both the United States and China, have published many articles and have lectured extensively in both countries. I also once was the Co-Co-Host on the Conan O’Brien Show!
