A Medievalist and archaeologist by education, an archaeologist and writer by profession, I am now plunging into the uncertain waters of electronic publishing to express my fictional side. That is, the side of me that writes fiction, since I myself am nonfiction. Influences? Lovecraft, Bukowski, Burroughs (both), all the Beats, 80s horror films, 50s B-movies, history, and the world at large.
