His fascination with horror began as a child. He looked forward to Saturdays, when he would take his 50-cent allowance and spend the day going from theater to theater watching movies. He especially enjoyed horror movies.
In the early fifties he became interested in acting, first in community theatre, then summer stock. In college he met his wife in a play.
He has probably worked at more different jobs than probably anybody. So when he writes about something, he has probably done it.
Although he had written over thirty articles for trade magazines, he did not tackle fiction until 2004 when his first horror novel, The Obsidian Serpent, was published. That was followed by Night Wolf’s Song, and now this collection of short stories. He has authored five screenplays.
He starts his day writing in the wee hours of the morning, when the house is quiet. He encourages everyone who has an itch to write, to go for it.
His four kids are grown so he and his wife spend time traveling with their dog, Chevy.view less
