ON WRITING

I love stories. Whether I’m creating a fiction spun from air and memory or writing an article for publication, something about the beginning, middle and end get me jazzed.

Fiction-wise, I’ve been creating worlds since I was a child. Scripts of suspense, romantic comedies, musicals about the fall of Troy...I’ve done them all. There’s even some bad poetry (very whiny) in my desk drawer. These days, I’m working on my first novel, a paranormal suspense.

In the non-fiction realm, I’ve worked for the Key West Citizen, Huntington Beach Independent and Newport Beach/Costa Mesa Daily Pilot. I’ve interviewed police officers, firefighters, garage mechanics, homeless people, inventors, knife salesmen, politicians, novelists, and the odd celebrity or dozen. My most recent work can be seen in the San Diego Union-Tribune.
