- About Me:
- I've been away from the site for quite a long time now, though continuing to write. Did a few drafts of a horror screenplay, teaching myself to write in such a mode. It's different. I am continuing to knock around the crime novel I started a few years ago. I can't leave it alone. Have another possible indie film script in the works now. I mention that in this slot since I see low budget self made films as the likely future for anyone who would seriously hope to write a film and see it produced in these times.
For my friends here who may remember me, I have emerged through some hard times. Am now living, somewhat contentedly, with my wife and my Rhodesian Ridgeback, neither of whom ever listen to me. But I love them despite it all. And people ask me why I love noir. - I Am A:
- Writer
- Books And Authors I Like:
- Chandler (who else?), Twain, Parker, Crais, James Lee Burke, John Burdett, Tim Dorsey, Edogawa Rampo, Hammett, Nick Tosches, Lovecraft, and Randy Wayne White.
- Movies And TV Shows I Like:
- Not a lot of changes since I first listed here. Except 'Beerfest' maybe. But seriously, Folks. Discovered a film, 'Hard Eight' from a few years back. Enjoyed it thoroughly. Consider the two 'Hostel' movies to pretty well be the defining literary/cinematic hallmark of the age we are now enjoying. Would not recommend them for those with delicate sensibilities, as I would not recommend living in the present age for that same group.
The original 'Miami Vice' because it's a satire of itself. Funny, I never watched it when it was first run on tv, but I own the first two seasons on DVD. 'Out Of The Past,' 'Casablanca,' "Godfathers I and II,' (sorry to be obvious and trite, but they were simply among the best films ever made,) 'Goodfellas,' 'Scarface,' and 'I Vitteloni.'

Your fixation on Buffy marks you as a genius in my book. Those who haven't seen it can't possibly get it; those who've seen it and still don't get it. . .they have my deepest compassion ;-)
Glad to meet another Buffophile!

Early Endorsements for “A Circle of Souls”
Linda Fairstein, NYT Bestselling Author: "A fascinating debut - this novel takes the reader to the darkest places in the human soul, from a writer with the authenticity to lead us there. A stunning thriller and an important read."
Judge Judy Sheindlin, star of the Judge Judy Show: "The seminal work of this fine author kept me glued to my chair until the adventure was over and the mystery solved. A great read!"
Book Synopsis:
The sleepy town of Newbury, Connecticut, is shocked when a little girl is found brutally murdered. The town s top detective, perplexed by a complete lack of leads, calls in FBI agent Leia Bines, an expert in cases involving children.
Meanwhile, Dr. Peter Gram, a psychiatrist at Newbury s hospital, searches desperately for the cause of seven-year-old Naya Hastings devastating nightmares. Afraid that she might hurt herself in the midst of a torturous episode, Naya s parents have turned to the bright young doctor as their only hope.
The situations confronting Leia and Peter converge when Naya begins drawing chilling images of murder after being bombarded by the disturbing images in her dreams. Amazingly, her sketches are the only clues to the crime that has panicked Newbury residents. Against her better judgment, Leia explores the clues in Naya s crude drawings, only to set off an alarming chain of events.
In this stunning psychological thriller, innocence gives way to evil, and trust lies forgotten in a web of deceit, fear, and murder.
