Profile Information

About Me:: I now devote full time to creative writing, including a historical/crime/thriller novel I have finished involving the Teamsters, the Mob and college-age vigilantes set in 1960 New Jersey, based in part on my experiences working summers in a Teamsters warehouse dominated by the Genovese crime family.

My story, “Lessons from a Horseplayer”, was published in Canyon Voices Literary Magazine, Issue 14, Fall 2016 by the New College of Interdisciplinary Arts and Sciences of Arizona State University.

I participate in several blogs, including Maine Crime Writers and The Killing Zone.
