My writing has been featured on the internet by Literary Kicks, Candlelight Stories, Dogmatika, Mystery Island, The Beat, Syntax of Things, Empty Mirror Books, and Lit Up Magazine. My first novel, Tamper, is a rollicking story of two young fans of unexplained mystery and arcane history. The story follows these aspiring paranormal investigators, Roger and Whit, from summer treasure hunts and dark autumn secrets, through estrangement and drug-induced psychosis, to the island of Malta, where, according to an actual 1940 National Geographic article, a field trip of children and their teacher disappeared without a trace in the ancient Hypogeum catacombs. I live with my wife in Jacksonville, Florida. Sometimes our 22 year old son drops in, providing the swing vote necessary to invoke Mom's cookie-baking expertise. "It's not for me," I explain. "It's for the boy." By day, when not writing, I mow the lawn and complain about the heat. By night, I sneak around in the back yard, convinced that the garden gnomes are “up to something.”
