I've been writing for longer than I can remember. I've read so many books, and done so many things, that my writing is an entertaining melting pot. But some influences are: Roger Zelazny, Larry Niven, Harlan Ellison, Lord Byron, Lord Dunsany, Poe, and my own wacky dreams. By day, I am an internet engineer, and I have an eBay business (mostly stamp collections) to fill in between the gaps.

Over 350 stories & poems published since 1986. Two story collections ("Blank Spaces" and "Year of the Twist") and three poetry chapbooks ("afterlife 9", "insomnia f/x", "the Other secret house") now in print. From a different creative angle, I was one of the core sailing and fighting crew on Russell Crowe's ship in the film "Master and Commander."
