Biography

Like most kids, I wanted to be an entomologist! What? Bugs didn't fascinate you? Well, that's okay. Most kids are weird in their own way.
Thank Buddha for word processing—I've incorporated my fascination with insects into a psychotic cockroach story. I'm a native Californian who lived in San Diego for thirteen years, Los Angeles for two years, and the San Francisco Bay Area. I also spent two years in Japan, which was a blast! There, I drank amazing sake, ate savory ramen, and wrote short stories, a couple of novels, and a socio-cultural hypothesis that seeks to explain how a war-mongering Japan in the early twentieth century became one of the safest, most peaceful societies on earth: http://carltonalear.wix.com/kawaiism.

Several years ago, I submitted short stories to various contests and won a couple, which was pretty cool. After finishing THE HOVER, Cedric Book 1, I was going to shelve it and move on to the next project—what I'd normally do—but my wife insisted that I publish it instead. Since nobody at the time seemed interested in another vampire story, I decided to self-publish. If you prefer audiobooks, you can purchase the audio version of The Hover! Book 1 of the Cedric duology.
