University of Maryland alum and Ex-NYPD cop turned author with a wrongful arrest and prosecution in between. Now fully exonerated, I've turned to writing in the hopes of making this a new career.

RAW DEAL (2/9/17) is my memoir about the "Cannibal Cop" case. I talk into the world dark and violent sexual fantasies, my family life, my wrongful arrest, my time in prison, rampant misconduct by FBI agents and the US Attorney's office, and my eventual acquittal and full exoneration.

A GATHERING OF EVIL (1/14/18) is my debut extreme horror novel, and it is not for the squeamish or faint of heart. It is the story of two New York women leading seemingly normal lives, completely unaware that they have been targeted by a group of wealthy and violent sa ...more

I will look forward to your thoughts when you are finished.

I am hanging in there, thanks for asking. It has been difficult because I ah e basically had to start all over again. Life will never be normal, but I am making the best of a bad situation and hopefully I can continue to write books. I definitely enjoy it. (less)

So, Gil, did getting your name cleared do anything to change the law in cases like yours (and I have to say I've never seen one before outside Orwell's "1984")? And who's directing the movie about your case?

This was a case without an FBI sting and without so much as a phone call between me and the "co-conspirators". The only evidence that was introduced at trial was the fictional chats. That was the cornerstone of their case.... so I think moving forward if there is ever a case similar to mine, there would need to be some concrete action before someone can be arrested (Gathering tools, personal meetings with others, etc). They argued that innocent things that I did (like one of the MANY trips to Maryland, for instance) were furthering the conspiracy but it was all BS as explained by the courts.

Until it happens again, and I hope it doesn't, this was truly a unique case and I have not heard of others that parallel mine (based solely on Internet communications, nothing more).

There will be a press release about the movie in early May. Until then I can't say. But the movie is in pre-production.

Thanks for reaching out (less)

Friendly Reminder... There's a Prequel :)

Hey Everyone;

I've noticed that a few people have read The Social Catalogue of #Prey as a stand alone book. While that is fine, you'll have the full experience if you check out the prequel first.

A Gathering of Evil was nominated for best extreme horror novel of 2018 at the Splatterpunk Awards at KillerCon this August. It's currently available for only .99 cents, so before you read SCOP, learn abou Read more of this blog post »
