WEIRD RHODY is a short story collection featuring five strange tales all set in Rhode Island and written by five Rhode Island authors. The anthology is a tribute to H.P. Lovecraft, the Ocean State's famed author of pulp horror.
After teaching English abroad for a decade, Jeffrey and his wife have settled in Northern California. He still teaches and devotes as much time as possible to writing. This is his first in a number of planned novels. He is now working on his next, which is tentatively entitled "Soul Hostage".
Background
Information
I have always been most engaged by the horror genre. As an English major in college, I won over a few skeptical professors with essays on the literary merits of works by authors such as Stephen King and Peter Straub.
The drive to write has always been within me. However, I have been very successful at finding excuses not to carry through on the impulse. With the completion of Bloom's Desk, I have energized that drive and feel compelled to continue with another novel, which I have begun. It is, of course, a horror novel.
