If you think my picture looks familiar it's because I'm an actor as well as a writer. You may have seen me as The Opera Singer in Adam Sandler's MR. DEEDS, Adam's remake of THE LONGEST YARD or on TV in BABYLON 5. Like my roles, my books are varied. My first commercially published work was called EARLY STAGES about young actors working professionally. That was re-issued as THEATER FOR YOUNG ACTORS along with MISCARRIAGE (Both in paperback.) My first ebook was BOBBY ON BROADWAY about a 13 year old actor from Richmond, Virginia who gets to spend the summer with his novelist uncle in New York and ends up playing the lead in a Broadway play - but not before his parents get captured in an African revolution and a deranged kid from home tries to murder him. That novel was followed by THE GENTLE MADNESS OF BERTIE STOPFORD, a true story about the man who got one of the largest collections of jewels in the world out of Russia during the 1917 revolution. My most recent fiction is called THE MAIMING OF BINKY NORRIS and involves child abuse, mental illness and memories of a family out of control.

I live in Los Angeles. My daughter, the love of my life, was married earlier this year so now I have to share her. Boo! When I'm not auditioning (recently I spent a day being recorded for re-voicing a French animated feature) I usually write from midnight on. Something about the fact that the phone isn't going to ring, traffic is slow, and all the dogs have stopped barking makes it easier to concentrate and be creative.

I want to thank Amazon/Kindle for developing this new way of publishing. It makes it very easy to just concentrate on the work and forget about marketing. And I thank you for taking the time to read this. Welcome to my world.
