About me

I was born in the Sacramento, California and eventually moved to Braintree, Mass. My family moved to Ireland and now I am based near London, UK. I have been writing all my life, starting with comic strips (one of which was published for 6 weeks in the Braintree local newspaper). Then I began writing novels, and have completed six, most recently a vampire tale, BLOOD FAMILY (www.bloodfamily.co.uk). I have one self-published book, a children's adventure story BUZZ available on Amazon.com (www.bumbleton.co.uk). I have also written many scripts. In '99, i was part of the Wombles children's series writing staff. After that, I wrote a sketch for Shoot The Writers which was aired. Presently I am working with my agent (Creative Authors) on my trilogy of vampire novels, beginning with Blood Family.
