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.

For those of you who haven’t heard yet, my father-in-law has been fighting cancer for the last year. Unfortunately, he’s fought the good fight but due to masses of blood clots in his head, they cannot finish the job. So he is now in hospice care at home. As you can imagine my wife, myself,…
I’m looking for honest reviews for my new paranormal/mystery novel “THE SHIP”. So far I’ve had 4 reviews on Amazon (all of them 5 star ratings), but I’ve only had one on Smashwords and over at Goodreads.com. I really would like to see more, since most prospective readers like to see what others are…
Just put up a new entry over on my WordPress version of “The Vampyre Blogs”. Today, I have my vampire’s godson talking about him. I thought it might be nice for all of you to see Nathaniel, through the eyes of someone who’s known him for years. Nathaniel’s been in a kind of dark mood…
For some time Helen and I have been considering adding some new things to this blog. After I did the series of how to record audiobooks, I still got a number of requests for more details about creating Chain Commands, where do I find such-and-such function on my ACX, etc. And I realized that perhaps…
“HAPPY HOLIDAYS TO ALL” No updates on Kickstarters, or discount books today gang. Just a few thoughts on this holiday season. This will be our first Christmas without my father-in-law, and I’ll admit a part of me is a bit apprehensive about it. But not all that much really. There is still going…
