Bio
Born Philadelphia, PA; raised in rural/suburban Maryland; residing in Dunedin, FL. Much wandering occurred between Philly and Dunedin. Passports were stamped. Planes were caught. Food poisoning was overcome.
Trained in the sf/f tradition, a fan of Weird/interstitial/slipstream/(insert buzzword du jour). Wrote a few modestly successful short stories, now working on a novel or two, a stageplay, and the odd side project.

Novels & Screenplays
Providence and Miss Brooks - "I know! Let's move Middlemarch to the 1950's and make it a musical!" This is probably why I'm not more widely published.
Living in Ernest - Maxwell Ernest is a bestselling children's author. His older brother Rutherford is a wandering sailor. One summer both brothers return to their childhood home and discover, quite against their will, how the town made them the men they are now. (Novel & Screenplay in progress)
