: About Me

I've been fortunate to have had a varied literary background. I have written seven full-length screen plays, four television pilots and I am presently working on my second novel.
In addition to my novels,I have developed two board games and I hold a patent on a product I created.

I have a diverse business background,having been involved in international marketing and manufacturing throughout Asia and Europe. My base of operations for many years was Hong Kong. It is as the result my extensive travels throughout the world that I have been able to find the inspiration for my work.

I play the guitar and had been a disc jockey in various cities around the country. I created, co-hosted and produced a live 60 minute health and nutrition radio program called Food For Life which ran for four years and was heard in the New York Metropolitan area and streamed live around the world on the Internet.

I live with my wife Debbie and our dog Bella on Long Island. My two children, Josh and Jodie are equally talented and independent.

My passion is ...

Writing something that will somehow make a difference in the life of another.

I know too much about ...

What I know nothing about.

My parents always told me ...

Live a life that you will be proud of.

My childhood ambition ...

To be an actor

My favorite memory ...

When my children were born

Why I write ...

I write simply to entertain myself. If I accomplish that, I believe others will also be entertained.

What I am reading/watching/listening to ...

Folk music

My first job ...

I was a caddy at a golf club at age 13. I was terrible!

My best moment ...

When I saved my son's life with the heimlich maneuver.

My inspiration ...

My muse is nature, watching people and traveling the world

The soul goes unfed. Alone is when sadness overtakes your heart And you yearn for the familiar touch of that one person who can, with just a smile, restore the sun. You long for that one special presence Beside you, your fingers entwined- Warmly in yours- To be there with you, not for talk, but simply for the presence Of that one, unique kindred spirit with whom your voice harmonizes and your heart beats....
