I'm very much a confessional-style poet along the lines of Sylvia Plath and Anne Sexton. I'm motivated by the sadness and emptiness I experience in the world, which is why most of my poetry is fairly dark and depressing.  For prose, I tend to horror, mysteries, fantasy, and on occasion a blend of all three genres!  I prefer writing novella length or shorter and have dabbled in flash fiction as well.

I think managing to live another day is one heck of an achievement.

My best friend Sabine Sklar passed away 10/20/2003, entering a diabetic coma and never returning. There are some poems and a short non-fiction piece on her wake on my site.
