About the Author
About the Author:      

I was born and raised on the South Side of Chicago with intermittent years spent at the
University of Iowa in Iowa City, Iowa, and three years in and around Piscataway, New Jersey as
I worked at AT&T Headquarters in Basking Ridge.  My joy of writing led me to accept an early
retirement package from the phone company to pursue my dream of becoming a novelist.

I currently live with my wife and stepson in Chicago where I write I have published two novels:  
The Rape of David Miles in April of 2006, and A Hole In His Strength in March of 2007.  I’m
currently at work on my third novel titled Like Two Drunks On A Sofa.
