Biography

The extent of my published material has been limited to boring business material. With 18 years in the military, several more as a special agent/special investigator for the federal government and too many years in busines to speak of, I have an incredible number of insanely humorous, action-adventure stories to tell. I've complete 2 books, working on 2 more and have a collection of short stories to bind at least 2 more books. Born and raised in Philly during the 50s and 60s, which may explain my warped sense of humor or it could be the number of brutal beatings at the hands of my grade school nuns or maybe it was the drugs and booze or...... My writing style has been described as a three way cross between Hunter Thompson, a warped Patrick McManus and Jack London on acid. My two completed books are, "Snarfles and Me; A Twisted Tale About a Man, His Mutant Husky and Their Wild Adventures." Also, "Legacies, An American Journey" An epic story about three generations of service to America. My almost completed books are, "Christmas Letters From The Asylum," a collection of insanely funny short stories, and "The Replacement Priest," A story about a priest who has a different idea about fighting sin. I am also in the process of writing "Job Hunting for Baby Boomers," with 25 years in Human Resources, this book will give older job huinters some realistic ideas on how to get that next job in spite of age discrimination.

Inspiration

My primary source of inspiration probably came from the thousands of books I've read since I first taught myself to read at age 4. Eclectic to say the least, my taste in reading material ranges from history to horror to action-adventure to humor, polictical science, science fiction, philosophy, religion and Mad Magazine. With all my life's experiences and those of others I've had the privelege to hear, I felt that the world is missing a tremendous amount of information and history that is never recorded. In addition, there is a real shortage of original down to earth storytelling, where the characters are real, the plot believable and the reader is truly entertained. I like to write stories that causes my readers to gag, get angry enough to swear and/or laugh out loud or all three. There's enough boring and re-hashed trash out there on the bookshelves to keep the critics busy; my material is written to entertain the reader.
