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.

  1. 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.

  2. 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.

    1. 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.
