This pic is me in my comfort zone—climbing at my hometown gym. That’s my wife belaying me. Don’t worry. Her right hand is on the brake. Probably.

I currently live in the Central New York area (think Syracuse, not Manhattan), where the sun rarely shines and the snow falls in thick blankets that smother all joy. Perfect for a writer of dark fiction!

I received my MFA from Minnesota State University, Mankato. I primarily write dark thrillers and horror. I’ve co-hosted a couple podcasts (The Indirectors and Last Year’s Horror) which you can still find on any podcast service of your choice. Sometimes, I make music. When I’m not injured, I’m hanging (literally) at the climbing gym. I am a member of the Horror Writers Association.

I keep my catalog fairly up to date on the “My Writing” page of this site.
