My interests are the crazy, mad men ... Celene, Bukowski, Fante, Henry Miller, Don DeLillo, Dostoevsky, Hemingway and Hubert Selby, Jr. My true passion is short fiction. I like nothing more than to shine a spot light into a character'd life and get out just in time for the reader to want more - to wonder more. I am also influenced by singer/songwriters like Springsteen, Waits, Dylan, Neil Young, Billy Joel, Rodgers and Hart, George Gershwin and Cole Porter - amongst others. I am particularly interested in the dramatic choices people make that will affect their lives in both a positive and negative way. Since I was ten years old, I have had a love affair with music from the 20s, 30s, 40s and 50s. Music has a huge influence on my life, but I am as passionate about new music as I am the retro style. I hope to make a living as a published author.
