A dapper pork pie hat set at a jaunty angle. I so wish I could have found a photo of someone who looked even a bit like the older gentleman. I guess there are no photos of this particular angel on the web. He had on those 1950's glasses that every grandparent wore; he kind of looked like Malcome X, but older and very grand.

About me

I love to write. There are always dialogues and stories going through my mind, asking to be told.


In my process, I tend to create mayhem and then try to figure out some plausible, fun, and unique way for the characters to escape. Readers are smart, so I avoid lengthy descriptions that slow the story.


I seek to make stories and characters that you like and think about months later. Good books end with you saying goodbye to friends.

As an author, it always surprises me when someone recognizes me. Sure, it is my wife and daughter, but I will take it. As writers tend to stay up late at night, we don't get a lot of sun, so we could be mistaken as a ghost.
