ABOUT THE AUTHOR 

 

Author Bio:

A Colorado native, I've been writing speculative fiction for almost twenty years.   In the last year I've been lucky to be featured in two e-zines, Writers Helm, and Static Movement, along with a debut magazine 7th Dimension, which, unfortunately no longer exists. :(  Recently, I've been published in two anthologies, Twisted Tales III and Abominations.  

When I was a kid, I wanted to be a wide receiver in the NFL.  Later, I discovered the guitar, grew my hair long ,and dreamed of being the next Jimmy Page.  Then I stumbled on dark fiction, which spoke louder than the NFL and music combined.  Now I'm not so much a football fan as a hockey fan.  Go Avalanche!  I still love music, though.  My literary influences include: Poe, Lovecraft, Hawthorne, James, Dickens, London, Hemingway, Richard Matheson, Peter Straub, Clive Barker, Jonathan Carroll, Ramsey Campbell, and that dude from Maine.
