About Me:

I've been published in a lot of "literary" zines. I am interested in reading and writing fiction that blurs the distinction between "literary" and "genre" categories.

I sometimes start blogs of original fiction under various pseudonyms (ie, below). Some pieces in my blogs are experimental, some are more conventional, just very short. Some are about crime, some are not.

I Am A:

Reader, Writer, Editor

Books And Authors I Like:

All fine writing, no matter the style or genre. I often like reading work that explores the darker side of human nature and the criminal/anti-social mindset. There is some of this in many writers' work, so I'll just list some favorite writers: Patricia Highsmith, Megan Abbott, Graham Greene, Vladimir Nabokov, Pablo D'Stair, Raymond Carver, Lucy Corin, Brian Evenson, Conrad Aiken, Flannery O'Connor, Joseph Conrad, Nathaniel Hawthorne, Edgar Alan Poe, and others.

Movies And TV Shows I Like:

TV: Wire in the Blood, George Gently, Law and Order (all of them), Justified, etc.

Some directors I especially like: Kubrick, Cohen Brothers, Hitchcock, David Lynch, Tim Burton

I love old movies. One of my favorites is Double Indemnity. I'm drawn to the movies with the femme fatale.

  Hi Meg, Thank you for your request. Your profile is an interesting read. I agree that genre blurring with a literary feel moves me more than strict genre writing.
