About

The son of Sicilian immigrants, I've lived in Brooklyn all my life except for the time I spent at Western Michigan University, from which I graduated in 1971. I've had 49 short stories published in small press magazines. I contribute articles to buzzle.com. I have three books in print, novels Close to the Edge, and Adjustments, and short story collection, A Hitch in Twilight, 20 Tales of Warped Imagination. I sell my books on the streets of Brooklyn.

Story Behind The Book

A collection of stories I've had published in magazines through the years, born of my love of The Twilight Zone and Alfred Hitchcock TV series.
