I’ve been a journalist, teacher, editor, and playwright. My first play was a shameless rip-off of THE MALTESE FALCON and was produced when I was 19. My short stories have appeared in Plots With Guns, Thuglit, and Crime Factory among others and in the anthologies HARDCORE HARDBOILED (Kensington Books), THE YEARS FINEST CRIME AND MYSTERY STORIES (Pegasus Books), and UNCAGE ME (Bleak House Books). I like cheap beer, cheap wine, and cheap thrills.
