Biography

Finding the human condition and our antics endlessly fascinating, I tend to write ‘slice of life’ pieces about moments, situations, interactions, personalities – most often with some amount of humor or irony, always with wonder. The subject or subjects are frequently lgbtq, w/w, to the degree it matters, since people are people, stories are stories.

Smashwords Interview

Do you remember the first story you ever wrote?
Of course. It was terrible. But it started the life long chase of words, ideas, structure, characters, personalities, situations, moments, and wanting to borrow them onto paper (page, screen).
What is your writing process?
Crazy! Very organic. Ideas, notions, personalities, situations, characters, dialogue visit my mind and the race is on to capture at least enough of a string to follow them onto the page (screen). I have heard, seen, other writers say this, and sounds a bit loopy, but sometimes they haunt me until I listen to them.
