As a journalism major and newspaper reporter for 5 years, my current writing owes nothing to that field except I know that the metro section is a darn good place to find ideas. I am a lifelong science-fiction and horror literature fan. I have read everything from J.P. Lovecraft to Ruth Rendell. My most recent work, Murder Burger, is based on experiences I had as a young fast-food worker in the 1980s. A lot of it is true, except the zombies, of course. I am also a filmmaker. Check out my films "William Wilson," "Scratch," and "Man vs. Sacramento" on YouTube.
