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.
However, I do not spend all our time sitting behind a desk writing. I like to get out and try new things. We also like to explore new places, sometimes with family or friends. I've gotten plenty of ideas thanks to these adventures. I like to draw from personal experience because I feel it lends a bit of authenticity to a story and its characters. 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.
Words of wisdom about “Rights and Copyright…” from my friend Aurora Jean Alexander author of the “Council of Twelve Series” (which is available at Amazon and other online bookstores)…

As the holiday season swiftly approaches, I began to ponder about how does one give an e-book to someone else as a gift? Having received my first Kindle last Christmas, I am still very a much a novice at using it. Mind you I have been learning and I’m enjoying it immensely. But I’ll…
REVIEW BY HELEN KRUMMENACKER Mystery stories have to work hard to set themselves apart from the crowd. Some do it with an underlying nonfiction theme, such as mystery novels/recipe books. Special settings can be useful. Most of all, characters are a way to be distinctive and memorable. There’s an entire bookshelf in our…
As you all know, I’ve been busy recording audiobooks at home. I’ve already gotten “Forever’s Too Long”, my wife Helen’s first solo novel, published on Audible where it received a 5-star review. So of course I was eager to turn another of her books into audio as well. So I began recording her second book…

Hi again. You mention ereaders and pdf but I didn’t hear Createspace on amazon for a paperback version. If I missed that I apologize. I like the priogress on the cover but I’m not sure I would make the figure any clearer or we’ll know too much right off the bat. Just a thought. 🙂
Also, are you familiar with Indies Unlimited? If not, check them out. In my opinion that group is the best source for info about self-publishing and the Indie experience I have come across. They are Preditors and Editors recommended list and don’t sell, anything – just provide info and support.
Have a great holiday. Stay healthy.

I will definitely check out Indies Unlimited, thanks for that tip. And yes I WILL be using Createspace so I can have paperback versions available.
You’re welcome. See you there. 🙂
I think the new book cover is going to be fantastic. I suggest bolding the title some, but not too much… Really enjoy your vlogs. I’m a new writer and really appreciate your sharing the process. I’m working on my first short story, which I’ll turn into my first novel. I use CreateSpace and will want to publish as eBooks as well. Again, thanks for sharing and to Yvonne for suggesting Indies Unlimited.
I’m glad to know the vlogs are being helpful. I should have the final edits for my novel by Christmas. I’ll spend the rest of the week finishing the cover and making the edit changes. From there, it’s Createspace time and formatting.
