About the author

I made my first story sale in 1974, shortly followed by another. My first book was, oddly enough, a children’s book, DINOSAUR DRESS UP, published in 1992. Since then, I’ve published several other books, mostly science fiction, fantasy, and horror. I’ve also ghostwritten more than a dozen works of science fiction, fantasy, memoirs, and cozy mysteries. My short story “In the Conservatory” was nominated for the Pushcart Prize.

A recent publication, “The Adventure of the Accelerationist,” in BLACK CAT WEEKLY #76, was nominated by the magazine's editor for the Shamus Award, an annual prize for outstanding detective fiction.

In 2024, Regal House published the 1st volume in my trilogy of YA books set in ancient Egypt, MURDER IN MENNEFER. The second, in 2025, is IMHOTEP AND THE QUEST TO KUSH.

A few years ago, I wrote, inked and lettered a 124-page graphic novel, The Endless Incident. I have worked for DC, Marvel, Charlton, and Warren Publications. I contributed “Bugs in the System” to witzend #12. Between 1975 and 1980, I worked for Wallace Wood and other DC and Marvel artists, including Dick Giordano, Bob Layton, and Frank McLaughlin. I inked backgrounds for Batman, Flash, Wonder Woman, Hercules Unbound, PLOP!, Stalker, Justice League of America, All Star Comics (Justice Society of America), X-Men, and Champions, among other titles, including the one-shot Superman vs. Muhammed Ali.
