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.

” ‘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…

A short while ago, I posted about gifting e-books and how simple it was. For those who missed that entry, I’ll briefly recap the basic idea here. When one goes to Barnes and Noble or Amazon, you have the option of ‘gifting’ an e-book to someone and having a notice sent to their e-mail that…
For just about all writers, the choice of voice or perspective to use is always a challenge. Although many write in the third person voice, there are two options. Do you do ‘limited’ where we only know what’s going through one characters mind, or do you use the ‘omniscient’ version where the readers get to…
