As all writers with creative monkeys on their backs, after wading through the muck of pottery, hacking away as a sculptor, sucking up paint fumes, dabbling in stunt work and marital arts, and years of hurry-up-and wait background performing... the Art of Writing is an exhilarating, no fuss-no muss medium, beyond a blood-spattered laptop and with few tools to bother with, outside of a feverish brain and a doorstop thesaurus.

 

My first book, SARY'S GOLD captured ScriptPimp's Grand Prize as a feature script. SARY'S GOLD is based on true events concerning a widow in a brutal Deadwood-esque outpost called Big Bear City. Two new books blazing away: A dystopian novel entitled, BEAST IN THE MOON, and a Coming Of Age Horror novel entitled THE MONSTER FACTORY. SARY'S GOLD has been snapped up by The Wild Rose Press. Thank you Wild Rose!

 

I work and play in Pacific Palisades, California.

And at the end of day....

It is great good fun being 'in command' of your own little world, entering them each morning to 'work'... indeed - compelled, to enter them at all times. But every writer knows that.
