Here is the 3rd installment of my 4 part video story about me and my wife moving away from Santa Cruz to the Monterey Bay Area.
Originally from Levittown NY, I currently reside somewhere along the coast in California with my wife/co-author Helen.
A lot of my creativity was born from my lifelong love of science fiction and horror. As a child I grew up on the original Dark Shadows, The Twilight Zone, The Outer Limits, Doctor Who (which I still follow) and Anime.
A few of my favorite authors are HP Lovecraft, Jane Austen, Robert Asprin, Jodi Lynn Nye, Stephen King, Richard Matheson, Isaac Asimov, Ray Bradbury, Edgar Allan Poe, and so many more.

Which is probably why Helen and I still love to attend conventions which involve sci-fi, fantasy, anime, comics, you name it. Yes, we are Geeks and proud of it.

Just put up a new entry over on my WordPress version of “The Vampyre Blogs”. Today, I have my vampire’s godson talking about him. I thought it might be nice for all of you to see Nathaniel, through the eyes of someone who’s known him for years. Nathaniel’s been in a kind of dark mood…
Well, we’re mostly settled into our new place, so the dust is slowly settling from all of that. Well mostly settled. Still unpacking and organizing where we want things to go and how, but that’s just normal after a move. But sometimes figuring out how to organize your story and where you want certain…
As many of you know I’ve been working on “The Door” for the last four years. And looking back on that sentence I’m wishing I’d phrased it differently, because it makes me sound like someone who is the lamest handyman in creation. Hmm… there might be another blog post in that. I…
Thomas Henry, the Explorer: He walks the road ahead, In the undiscovered country, Learning the calls of the dodo, Tracing the prints of the sabertooth. He does not forget, Nor will he be forgotten. Love knows no time or distance, Love knows only truth. He is with us, with the unfurling of the flower. I…
