I've been writing professionally and working in the film industry in various capacities for more years than I actually remember. Nine of my feature film scripts have been produced.  Like film producer George Lucas, I graduated with a degree from USC Cinema; unlike Mr. Lucas, everything else. I live in Los Angeles with my wife, a production sound mixer on major motion pictures. Our daughter resides in Beijing and speaks both English and Chinese for some unknown reason. Yes, I have pets, who asked not to be mentioned.   For reading, I like fun, funny, amusing...which is why I like horror so much.
