I live on the Central Coast of New South Wales in Australia.

I have had seventeen film history books published to date. They are "Grande Dame Guignol Cinema: Hag Horror from Baby Jane to Mother", "Frances Farmer: The Life and Films of a Troubled Star", "Jules Dassin: The Life and Films", "Australian Horror Films, 1973 - 2010", "Sandy Dennis: The Life and Films", "Neil Simon on Screen: Adaptations and Original Scripts for Film and Television", "Gwen Verdon: A Life on Stage and Screen", "Philip Seymour Hoffman: The Life and Work", "Anne Bancroft: The Life and Work", "Gene Hackman: The Life and Work", "Joanne Woodward: Her Life and Career", "Ann Miller: Her Life and Career", "Brittany Murphy: Her Life and Career", "June Allyson: Her Life and Career", "Alexis Smith", "Mitzi Gaynor: Her Life and Career", and "Lizabeth Scott: Noir Baritone Blonde."

I have a second biography being released this year, on an actor/producer/director. I have two biographies being released in 2027 - one on an actress/singer/writer and the other on an actress/singer/dancer/writer.

I am currently working on a book on film noir.
