about me

In addition to writing I enjoy gardening, cooking, hiking, cholesterol and booze, not necessarily in that order. My short stories and humorous essays have appeared in a number of commercial and literary publications. I like writing about the Caribbean, especially when it's snowing here in Vermont (October to May).

I've removed my books Voodoo Love Song and Calypso from Authonomy. If you'd like to take a look at them along with some of my other stuff, please visit the websites below. Thanks to each of you who have commented and given me a whirl on your shelf.

Good comfortable writing moves this along at a sprightly pace. Morgan makes a dandy protagonist; I particularly relate to his thirst. The dialogue is right on as is the sense of humor. view book

Promising beginning with good development and dialogue. Look forward to reading on. And possibly figuring out what 'going to pelt any tick' means. Richard, Voodoo Love Song view book

I've just been re-reading Einstein's Road Trip. I had forgotten how enjoyable it is. A wild premise with fascinating characters and crackerjack writing. I'm happy to give it another spin on my shelf. view book

Terry, I don't know how I missed you for so long, but after following your forum act with Steve and a bit of a Weighton see attitude, I took a look and found out you're a quite of a noir-do-well, channeling Hammett, Chandler and other 30's/40's favorites.

I saw your stories recommended in the forum, and after reading a couple can certainly see why. They're straightforward, honest and casually elegant. As a short story writer myself, my hat is off to you. Richard view book
