Biography

Twenty-year veteran at Union Cab, Madison, Wisconsin, a worker-owned-and-operated cooperative cab company. Also, publisher and editor-in-chief of "Mobius: The Journal of Social Change," a left-wing magazine of fiction, poetry and commentary. I love playing softball and hanging out at home with my wife and our two pugs, Vito and Strega, and our bullmastiff, Boudika. "Vampire Cabbie" is my first published novel. I'm working on the rewrites of my next novel, "Guitar God", which I describe as a Jewish, suburban rock and roll fantasy with a 1970s soundtrack.
