About

I’m a writer and artist living in the American Southwest. For the last two decades I’ve been lucky enough to make most of my living in creative industries as diverse as commercial analog and digital art, bookbinding, jewelry-making, and film cell retouching for a major theme park company. In my current dayjob, I weld very tiny circuits.

As M. Crane Hana, I primarily write m/m and m/m/f space opera in a smaller portion of that same universe, set thousands of years later when human colonists clash with an ancient, arrogant, and beautiful race already claiming the galaxy. MORO’S PRICE, the first book in this planned trilogy, is available from NineStar Press.

I’ve been inspired by the fiction of Tanith Lee, Storm Constantine, Samuel R. Delany, Jo Clayton, Andre Norton, Diane Duane, and Lynn Flewelling, among many other pioneers who brought alternate sexualities to the mainly heterosexual world of science fiction and fantasy. The secondary-world cultures I’ve created over 25 years are comfortable with many different forms of sexual expression. They are, to paraphrase Jack Harkness from TORCHWOOD, “52nd Century folks.”

I also write contemporary erotic romance.
