About Me:
I'm a historical crime novelist and an avid reader of all sorts of crime fiction and non-fiction. I love New York, I love the late Victorian era through the twenties. I love Britpop and Britrock and Christian Bale and Jude Law. I love strong coffee and froofy espresso drinks. I hate that there are no independent booksellers in the area. I don't mind rejection letters. I love acceptance letters. I have a tattoo, but not in a sexy or out-of-the-way place: it's on the inside of my wrist. I have an opinion on everything I know about, and most things I don't know about. If you prove me wrong, I worship you. If I trust you, I can be extremely gullible and unassuming. If you use it against me, I will kick you in the shin. I have recently become a professional awesome. People pay me for just being. I'm not kidding.

I write noir, not whodunits. I'm not clever enough, but I'm very emo, so noir works well for me. I love places, especially big houses, so one of these days I'm going to write a gothic novel, and will probably irreparably rip off Jamaica Inn.

Omigosh I used an adverb!

Caleb Carr, Victoria Thompson, Sara Gran, Daphne du Maurier, Libba Bray, Rhys Bowen, Patricia Highsmith, Joseph Mitchell, Robert Penn Warren, Carl Sifakis, Luc Sante, Herbert Asbury, Wilkie Collins, CS Lewis
Movies And TV Shows I Like:
Upstairs, Downstairs, Veronica Mars, Firefly, Buffy (I'm a Spuffy shipper, and I love Angel and Faith together), The Black Donnellys, Lost (in large doses, like vodka), Original Sin, Girl, Interrupted, All the King's Men (2006), The Prestige (oh, the Victorian Bale!), and anything Minghella touches. I've liked all I've seen of Hitchcock except Jamaica Inn, which sucked. I even liked The Lodger. My guilty pleasure: everything Bruckheimer. All time favorite film: Newsies.
