About

I am a fiction writer with eclectic tastes when it comes to genres. I love fantasy and soft core science fiction but my first two published books are mainstream. One of them, I hope, is very funny and the other, very sad. I work to be able to market and I write to be able to thrive. I live in Manhattan where chaos abides. I have two dogs, a cat and a lover. Life is good.

Together they will discover unforgettable surprises in this Eric Hoffer Award-winning novel. Highly recommended.
