About the author

I was born in a rotted wooden shack by the moonlight on a cold winter's night...

Okay, so I was born in a hospital in March on the nation's bicentennial year of 1976. People were partying and I was unleashing bio-terror on my parents every changing time.

Born and raised in the Capital District of New York, Albany and it's environs, I grew up with the pride of knowing that "going to the city" never meant Albany.

I didn't start writing fiction until I got back from Louisiana after Katrina. It took that to launch me from stanzas to scenes.

I've written three Sci-fi/Fantasy novels, a few collections and novellas, and I drifted to old haunts, to the most fun parts of my life - delinquency. So now I write cops and crimes.

I like making great characters, mainly because I like meeting great characters. My experience is that people will tell you anything you want to know if you're ready to listen. I'm all ears.
