Biography

My fiction has been published in a number of literary journals including Reflections, Writers of Readers, My Legacy, Nuvein Online, and EWG Presents. I've also written for several local publications including Style Weekly, Virginia Business, and Richmond Magazine.

I enjoy Seinfeld reruns, the Atlanta Braves, and Beatles songs written by John, Paul, or George. Sorry, Ringo.

In Search of Monsters is my first book.
