Reblogged from fellow author… and yes it’s all true
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.

In my last entry I explained how I had settled on the idea of Parallel Realities for the premise of my series. But what could I do with it that was new and different? Well as Doctor Who would say, “This is where things get a bit tricky.” We all know that a…
” ‘Cause, nothing ever goes as planned It’s a hell of a notion Even Pharaohs turn to sand Like a drop in the ocean…” This is a snippet from the Styx song “Nothing Ever Goes as Planned”, from their Paradise Theater album (one of my favorites albums I’ll admit). Anyway, what does a Styx song…
Thought I’d share this little piece of inspiration for all my fellow indie authors today. These really insightful thoughts come from author Kate Brauning, a woman who really knows about publishing and has been a part of it for a long time…
HAPPY BIRTHDAY to my fellow author and good friend A J Alexander, who currently has 6 books in her “Council of Twelve Series”. This is an ongoing fantasy, romance, series of books which not only involve Heaven and Earth, but many other mythical beings which are extremely well-woven into the tapestry of this series. Go…
