I'd describe myself as a man of eclectic tastes and high standards. My short story “Lucky Day” is in the anthology Berkeley Noir (Akashic Press, 2020). I'm also the author of Butchertown, a ripping, 1920s gangster thriller, which was praised as “incendiary” by David Corbett (The Long-Lost Love Letters of Doc Holliday; The Art of Character). My contemporary vampire novel Dragon’s Ark won the IPPY, NIEA, and Halloween Book Festival awards for horror in 2012. I also wrote the original screenplays Whackers, The Uglies, Now Speaks the Devil and Dracula: Endless Night (e-book editions only). Published by Ambler House Publishing, all are available at Amazon, Barnes and Noble, Powell’s Books, and other retailers. My reviews and essays have appeared in Swing Time Magazine, Posthoc.com, Bright Lights Film Journal,The Strand Magazine, Filmfax and Noir City. I also post essays on Medium and my own webpage, A Curious Man. I live in Northern California with my wife, Elizabeth. I can also found on Facebook, Reddit, and Bluesky!
