About Me

  • I'm a professional freelance editor now living in Emeryville, California. I've written many articles and book, music and movie reviews for such publications as Swing Time Magazine  and Posthoc.com.  I've very recently finished my first novel Dragon's Ark,  a contemporary Dracula tale set in the remote Sierra Nevada and am now looking for an agent and, from there, a publisher.  I'm now onto my second novel, a preternatural mystery to be titled Oscar's Ghost.

  • In Which We Are Introduced to a Certain Bear and a Dubious Notion

    October 25, 2009

    • Many of you may hate me for this, but when I saw the first previews for Where the Wild Things Are with the actors in those suits, three evil words crashed into my brain: Barney. The. Dinosaur. And the more I thought about it, the bigger the question balloon in my head grew until I wrote this parody, which I have posted in the Articles/ Stories section on my page. Thanks for ...

The first risk, of course, comes from the black flag of piracy, a problem ...
