Fall 2013--my first mystery, DEAD STOCK, has been published by Cozy Cat Press. Available at Amazon for Kindle or paperback.

Previously, Journalist, independent author and publisher. Two novels, HALF EMPTY and FULL OF IT, and two collections of stories, TRIUMPH OF THE WON'T and ONE DAMN THING AFTER ANOTHER.

My style is something I call Screwball Tragedy, finding the humor in pain and the ambivalence in redemption. Love, lust, and loss; conflict and confusion. Writing and reviews have appeared on Chicago Public Radio and in the Chicago Reader, NY Press, NY Times, Wall Street Journal, Forbes Traveler, Time Out Chicago, Sheridan Sun, Texas Pan-American. Member of the Outsider Writers Collective, an international writers' organization with more ...more
