My bio is pretty sparse, mostly because I’m a very private person. But I thought I’d share a little bit more about me for readers who are curious to know about the author behind the book.

My favorite professional sport is Competitive Eating. I was thrilled when Joey Chestnut won the 2012 Nathan’s Hot Dog Eating Contest with 68 dogs and buns in 10 minutes. Go USA!


Wine is my alcoholic beverage of choice. I drink red in the autumn and winter, and white in the spring and summer.


I have two children. Small children. Children young enough to plague me with repeated episodes of Dora the Freakin’ Explorer.


The first “adult” book I ever read was The Shining by Stephen King. I was about 11 or 12 years old. It opened up a whole new world outside of The Hardy Boys and Judy Blume. I got hooked on horror.


Richard Nixon resigned the year I was born. And gas cost 55 cents per gallon.

My life is pretty much standard by most definitions.
