about me

History and the arts are my passions. Although I make my living as a chemist, I define myself through the arts. I have written for film, radio and theatre, and a play I wrote when I was 22 traveled to europe and was performed at Spoleto Italy during the festival of two Worlds. I have published much magazine stuff, features, humor, criticism, history, and much short fiction. my work has appeared in National Lampoon, The Twilight Zone Magazine, Tornado Alley, River Styx, Eldritch Tales, Charon, and my short story One Happy Family was anthologized in A treasury Of American Horror Stories with work by Stephen King, Robert Bloch and H.P. Lovecraft. My two children, my 28 year old daughter and 15 year old son, however, are my greatest achievements.

Al: Rip roaring beginning. I was drawn in immediately. I like the staccato style of it, very Chandler or Hemingwayesque. In chapter one I like the attention to detail you capture. It is very sensual yet spare in style and it leaves me wanting more...to see where you are going with these characters.... view book
