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.

This year has been ‘difficult’ for me on a number of fronts, some of which I’ve already shared with you. Still there are others, that are still ongoing and taking up a lot of my time and brain power. I have actually done a number of audio short stories which are perfect for this time…
Just wanted to apologize for the lack of new updates everyone. College finals are looming along with a couple of dance performances which are part of my final exams. Plus I’ve started a new job. So for the next 2-3 weeks there may not be a lot of updating. But once college is out of…
Okay gang, I’ve got something different for you today. A writing exercise. I shared one of these a while back on my other blog and it was well received. I hope this one will also be as popular. Sometimes when we’re writing, pacing can be an issue. We have characters who can’t (or won’t in…
