Welcome to my ghostwriting page!
I am a seasoned storyteller, a crafter of words and ideas; the guy that can put emotions on the page; enable readers to experience the various elements of your dramatic life as if their very own, or bring that fictional world of yours to vibrant life. I have been writing for closing in on 30 years now, with over 35 books to my own credit (totaling over 10 million words with well over 550 characters) and about a hundred more books for my clients. I make words come to life, and that MS in Physics of mine certainly helps with the grittier details from time to time.
Storytelling is my heart and soul; be it fictional or your own personal tale, it still involves a story, emotions, and a plot. The secret to a great story is getting the reader to feel, to shedding tears of joy or grief, and jumping up for joy at all the right moments. That is part of what I do.
I have a MS in Physics, which has proven helpful in all the little scientific and theoretical details, and has trained me to always keep things consistent and aware of the littlest details; to always have a logic behind even the most fantastic tale, even if it involves a world of magic. It means that I can see the questions that need to be asked of a client’s real-life story, details that might be obvious only to himself.
Fiction or nonfiction, just tell me your needs:
- I have a memoir or real-life story and need to know more about your nonfiction services.
- I have an idea for a great Science Fiction or Fantasy book and want to know more about what you can do for it.
Portfolio
Need to see some samples? Well, being as this is also the site for my own fictional pursuits, you can find a few posted samples if you just back up to http://www.maldene.com. They’re taken from my first Maldene and Cyberdawn novels. Here’s the direct links to what’s currently posted:
excerpt from Maldene II: Mysteries of Olde
excerpt from Cyberdawn Beginnings
excerpt from Land of the Hive: Journey of the Queen
More samples are now available on my Google Drive, mainly from my own novels but a few (mostly nonfiction) samples from some clients; due to NDAs, all such samples are short and at least 7 years old, but I did try to provide a variety of subjects.
My resume is also available for download here: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1Krwxffl5J_LRuGl3qSpser3ZORqA1EjW/view?usp=drive_link

Rates
Base Rate: $.75/word (equates to $187.50/page for the standard 250 word-page)*
- Extensive research, travel, expedited turnaround, and other extenuating circumstances can increase this rate.
Estimated book length is as agreed upon between Client and Ghostwriter.
FREE 30-minute consultation for your book project. No commitments, I’ll simply explain what I can do for you and provide a quote for my services.
The service includes:
- Outlining
- Reworking and editing of any existing draft
- Preparatory work (interviews with client, development of needed characters, assembly of available notes and other materials from the client, and all required development work before beginning the actual writing)
- Full book writing.
Process involves:
- Preparation
- Full written draft of the book
- Weekly work in progress reports for client feedback
- Up to two full edits of the final draft based on client feedback.
Example: To give you an idea of what this might typically cost, most nonfiction books are in the range of 70,000 to 90,000 words, which equates to $52,500 to $67,500. Fiction novels can go from there up to 100,000 words or more. Basically, assume we’ll be talking $50,000 to $75,000 for most projects.
Scripts: Negotiable (let’s talk).
An NDA is part of the final contract, but even before that I assume that one is in force during negotiations.
So if you need a book written, you know where to go.
