The Destination (2006)
This, my first whole, mature novel, is the story of a man creeping up on his thirties. He's fallen off the track of where he wanted his life to be, and must find his way again. That sounds like every other novel, but trust me: there is a lot of good stuff inside. It's a story of love, loss and a dead gerbil. There's a bachelor party to please the gentlemen, and lots of goopy romance for the ladies. Look for it to be made into a great movie starring Anne Hathaway and Rachel Weisz as the two females in the main character's life.

Untitled 2002 Novel
This novel is about a young woman who suffers.  She begins the novel as a curious young woman, and endures just about the worst life can heap upon a member of the fairer sex.  This is a well-rounded novel.  Though it's ultimately sad, there is happiness, and love and even sex before the inevitable conclusion.
 
Empathy (2001)
Empathy tells the story of Emily, a young woman who experiences a great deal of change during her senior year of high school.  Her family breaks apart, and her confusion pushes her friends away.  She's lucky enough to find a man who loves her, and they try to build a life, but the betrayals are an insurmountable handicap.  This novel is more of a tragedy, with some mild supernatural elements, as well as an effective ending.
 
Lost at the Time (2000)
A novel revised from a piece of juvenalia, this is a fun SF young adult romp that adults would also enjoy.  Justin Thyme and Virginia Micar repair deviations in the standard timeline.  There is time travel, adolescent romance, a strong female character.  It will never rival Asimov or Clarke, but it's a fun little novel nonetheless.
