about me

I’m a writer these days, best described as a constant work-in-progress. Before that – who cares.

I uploaded my first book, Merchants of Terror, in May 2009 and removed it a year later after receiving 336 comments (& ranked 92nd). The feedback was amazing, almost overwhelming at times. All the comments were helpful because they provided critique from a perspective I couldn't possibly duplicate through self-editing. I hope you enjoy this site as much as I have.

This is a fun read helped along by some fine writing. Charlie is an endearing character brought to life by some skillful dialogue and narrative. I'm through the first two chapters after telling myself, "just another few paragraphs". My God, this is hard to put down. view book

This book will grab your attention from the first sentence of the first paragraph. A strong opening chapter with the promise of more of the same. As mentioned earlier, Dead Wood is on my shelf for easy access. Thanks for sharing your work . view book

Hugely entertaining! While I hate words ending in 'ly', this story is smartly written, cleverly constructed and universally appealing. Wrong turn! What an understatement, like the writer - a talented individual that combines mystery, thrills, fun and laughter in his work. Thanks for sharing you... view book
