I began writing for publication in 1988 centering my aim at the post-beat-movement of that time. During those years I published many chapbooks of poetry, one softbound entitled FATED VISIONS and met a few of the beat writers that helped to inspire my work, Alan Ginsberg and Gregory Corso are the two that stand out most vividly. I continued to write and publish for the small press for over nine years. THE KEROUAC CONNECTION and BLUE JACKET PRESS in Japan are just two of the publications I wrote for. In the mid-nineties I turned my attention to the authors who had influenced me as a child, H. P. Lovecraft and Poe. While I still submitted work to the small press, I also began writing my first novel. The genre I set it in is horror but the content is heavily influenced by all of the writers and styles that affected me growing up. In early October of this year a collection of my work mainly published overseas will be released. My first novel: The Curse of Mesphisto's Seed was released in September. It's received excellent reviews and I'm shopping my next book.
