About Me

I'm a laborer working as a letter carrier for the USPS. I'm also a writer with over fifty published short stories, hundreds of pages of comic book scripts, scores of reviews, and one novel to my credit. No, I have not written about the USPS. If I can create a book as well written as Bukowski's POST OFFICE, I'll give it a shot. Until then I'll write about more mundane horrors. My first novel, THE FLOCK, was published in October 2006 at Five Star Books. I also co-edited the Poe-themed anthology EVERMORE for Arkham House Books. I'm hard at work on my latest novel. You can purchase my novel, THE FLOCK, here.

What's the earliest you've gotten up to watch cartoons and what did you see?

Six a.m. and it wasn't a cartoon, it was the Buster Crabbe Flash Gordon serials.
