Hometown:
Maryland, near DC
About Me:
I am an emerging writer living in the Rockies of Colorado. I have had a short story, Tethering The Bait, published in Short & Twisted, an anthology from Celepene Press in Melbourne, Australia. I also have another short, Sweetening the Pot, which will be coming out in the January 2008 issue of Spinetingler Magazine. My Flash story, Sunshine On Their Shoulders was published on October 31, 2007 in Flash Me Magazine.
I am married, have an adult son, 3 dogs. The son chooses to live in town, which probably has saved his sanity!

I'm an unrepentant Democrat.

A wine and Scotch drinker in moderation.


Reading was, and still is, my first passion. I am never without 2 or 3 books at a time. Now add my ever present notebook, an atlas, a Thesaurus and my Websters and it explains why I have a torn rotator cuff in my shoulder. I see a laptop in my near future.

Am delighted to be here and have assigned myself the daunting task of reading each entry in each discussion on this forum.
I Am A:
Reader, Writer
Books And Authors I Like:
Too many to mention and way too many more to discover.

Anything by Austen, The Scottish and Hibernian Noir crowd, ...aw hell, anything that catches my eye and grabs my attention through the first chapter.
Movies And TV Shows I Like:
The Usual Suspects, Boondock Saints, Flesh and the Devil, M, The Philidelphia Story, The Maltese Falcon, White Heat, Key Largo, Gaslight. Anything along those veins.

Dexter, Rome, The Sopranos, 24, Wire In The Blood, all the BBC mystery and Crime series.

    Public speaking is a horror! The only reason I can do stand-up is because the room is dark and the crowd is drunk. Toastmasters has been on my list of things to do forever.

    Left Coast Crime is the one of the friendliest almost large conventions I've ever been to. The people are great. To get an idea of what they are about sign up for the yahoo list. 4_Mystery_addicts.com many on this list are LCC people and great people they are. Donna Moore, who contributes here on a regular basis is a mainstay.
    All, great, great people.

    Thanks for your kind comment. It was great meeting you at Left Coast Crime-- the people are always a highlight of a conference like that. And I'm glad you're enjoying Mahu Surfer; yesterday I learned it was named as a finalist for the Lambda Awards for best gay mystery, so I'm really excited.
