I was born and raised in Brooklyn, New York. Smoky pool halls, Irish bars and Italian social clubs are some of the local hangouts that have influence my writing. My major influence comes from the great writers of the noir. There was a rawness to their writing, but with the best of them, there was a sensitivity, too.
