Bio:

I'm a freelance writer and performer in Regina, Saskatchewan, Canada, Earth. I'm the author of five published science fiction and fantasy novels. My first four books were young adult titles; my most recent is the adult science fiction  novel Lost in Translation, which came out in hardcover from Five Star last year and has been re-released in mass-market paperback by DAW Books.

I also write non-fiction. My most recent non-fiction titles are A Safe and Prosperous Future: 100 years of engineering and geoscience achievements in Saskatchewan, published by the Association of Professional Engineers and Geoscientists of Saskatchewan (APEGS)  and Jimi Hendrix: Kiss the Sky for Enslow Publishers.

Other recent titles include Genetics Demystified from McGraw-Hill and Orson Scott Card: Architect of Alternate Worlds, a biography in the Authors Teens Love series from Enslow, J.R. R. Tolkien: Master of Imaginary Worlds from Enslow, Fires and Wildfires: A Practical Survival Guide, Basics of Quantum Physics: Understanding the Photoelectric Effect and Line Spectra, The Iran-Iraq War (War and Conflict in the Middle East) and Ayatollah Khomeini (Middle East Leaders), all from Rosen Publishing, and Ebola Virus, part of the Diseases and People series from Enslow.

I'm also the author of Meningitis, Arthritis, Hemophilia and Alzheimer's Disease, also part of the Diseases and People series from Enslow, and Careers in Outer Space, Skateboarding, Rock Sport Climbing, Fires and Wildfires: A Practical Survival Guide, Neon and Magnesium from Rosen.

Coming soon: an as-yet-untitled adult science fiction novel for DAW Books, a children's biography of Janis Joplin for Enslow, Historic Walks of Regina and Moose Jaw and for Red Deer Press, and Mutiny on the Bounty for Enslow.

I'm the author of several computer books, such as The Microsoft Office 2003 Bible, published by John Wiley & Sons.

In addition, I write a weekly science column for the Regina Leader-Post and talk about science every other Monday afternoon between 4:30 and 5 p.m. on CBC Saskatchewan's Afternoon Edition radio program, hosted by Colin Grewar.

I host net.talk, an Access Communications television program about computers and the Internet. For a couple of years, I wrote a column on the arts for InRegina.com; I also hosted an arts program for a time on Regina's community radio station, CJTR. I've written everything from TV scripts and one-act plays to magazine articles, advertising copy and short stories. I maintain a blog, Hassenpfeffer.

My agent for adult nonfiction is Djana Pearson Morris; my fiction agent is Ethan Ellenberg.

Besides being a writer, I'm a professional actor and singer who has performed in dozens of plays, musicals and operas in and around Saskatchewan. I'm gradually putting some music files online here.

I'm married to Margaret Anne Hodges, a telecommunications engineer. We have one daughter, Alice.
