Welcome to my Biography Page!
This page will tell you a little bit about me and some of the things I'm interested in.
Be warned, it's basically the same page as the one found on my copywriting web site, ExpertCopywriter.com. So if you've already read that bio, then you'd read all of this already. Do something more constructive with your time, like buy and read my books (and if you can do both simultaneously, I want to meet you).
I
first began writing professionally at the age of 17, for a small Los
Angeles trade newspaper. Over
the
past twenty years,
I have published over 200 articles, stories, features
and columns.
I'm also proud to have recently joined Moonstone Books as an editor and Special Projects Coordinator. In this capacity, I will be supervising the first reprinting of Jeff Rice's original Kolchak: The Night Stalker novels in more than thirty years. Featuring cover art by my good friend, bestselling media illustrator and artist Keith Birdsong (Star Trek, Star Wars, Xena, and many more), this landmark publication will be published in both limited edition and trade states. I'm also consulting Project Manager on Doc Savage: The Unproduced Radio Scripts, the first new Doc Savage material to see print in twenty years, and will be editing the first original Zorro fiction anthology in half a century.
My Hellboy story,
"Unfinished Business", co-authored with New York Times
bestselling novelist Ed Gorman (Dean Koontz's Frankenstein: City of
Night) appeared in the
Hellboy:
Odder Jobs anthology, edited
My new Kolchak story, "Bones of the Past", is scheduled to be released in the Fall of 2006 in the inaugural anthology, Kolchak: The Night Stalker Casebook (Volume I). My next short story, "Lessons Learned", stars the world's first costumed superhero, The Phantom, and is scheduled for release in early 2007. This significant anthology marks the first appearance of Phantom prose fiction since the 1970's, when a string of novels, written by Phantom creator Lee Falk, were published.

In my younger years, I even found myself less than

I was recently Production Coordinator and Assistant Unit Production Manager on Wednesday Again, starring Richmond Arquette, Brad Heller, Mick Berry, and Hollywood legend Marty Ingels. I'm currently co-producing Space Reserved, a feature film scheduled for production sometime in 2008. |
