Where do you live?
Sunny, Southern California
in a small wine making community called Temecula.
Can you tell me about yourself?
I was born in middle
America, but have spent most of my life on the west coast walking on the sandy
beaches of the Pacific Ocean. While in college I had a variety of jobs,
everything from working at Disneyland to behind the camera work in adult films
in the same real world time and setting depicted in the film Boogie Nights. I
spent 15 years in marketing and advertising working with entertainment and
sports celebrities. I’m married, have two children, a mortgage and I drive a
minivan. I’ve had seventy or so short stories published, one collection, two
novels, and I’m an active member of the Horror Writers Association.
Why and when did you begin to write?
I couldn’t tell you why, as
I have no idea, but as to when, I know I started experimenting with writing in
high school. I usually tinkered with my English assignments creating fiction
even when I wasn’t asked to. This had good and bad results.
How long each day/week do you dedicate to writing?
It varies, anywhere from
6-20 hours
Do you use pen and paper first then transfer to computer or
computer all the way?
I’m old enough that when I
started writing way back when, not everybody had computers so pen and paper was
the only way to go. Now its computer all the time.
