I grew up in St. Louis Park, Minnesota, raised by my mother in a double, bungalow (what I lovingly refer to as “half-a-house”), surrounded by endless rows of small houses, bowling alleys, ponds, woods, malls, gas stations and strip malls and this suburban jungle informs all of my work.

Writing, at its best, is a lonely life. Organizations for writers palliate the writer's loneliness
“Writing, at its best, is a lonely life. Organizations for writers palliate the writer's loneliness but I doubt if they improve his writing. He grows in public stature as he sheds his loneliness and often his work deteriorates. For he does his work alone and if he is a good enough writer he must face eternity, or the lack of it, each day.”
Ernest Hemingway

Friedrich Nietzsche
“When you stare into the abyss the abyss stares back at you.”
Friedrich Nietzsche, Фридрих Ницше

Richard Yates
“I'm only interested in stories that are about the crushing of the human heart.”
Richard Yates

“Fortune is not on the side of the faint-hearted.”
