Biography

Morro Bay, California resident. April 33 is my first novel, but I've written a number of stories and songs, and I hope to start adding more free short story collections with somewhat greater frequency. I like things that are a bit offbeat and not easy to pigeonhole (or predict). And apropos of nothing really, but I used to have an iguana named Blue.
You can also find me on the Morro Bay commercial free, format free, all volunteer radio station... streaming worldwide through our website EsteroBayRadio.org.

Quirky characters and Twilight Zone atmospheres abound when mild-mannered Michael receives an unusual gift- access to a supposedly non-existent 13th floor of an office building.
