Welcome. Thanks for stopping by.
Since I seriously began writing in 1999, I've published over sixty stories and poems, managed to garner three honorable mentions in Ellen Datlow's Year's Best Fantasy and Horror, and was nominated in 2001 for the Science Fiction Poetry Association's Rhysling Award. I'm currently focusing my energy on screenwriting, so if you don't see much new poetry or fiction being published, hopefully it means I'm hard at work on my latest cinematic masterpiece . . .

3/12/08 - The Dead Must Go
This three-minute video is my first collaboration with photographer Doug Sanders -- I came up with the story and script, Doug took care of the cinematography and direction, we co-edited. To really "get" this short, you need to know it was created as a submission for George Romero's "do-it-yourself-zombie-movie" promotional contest for his film Diary of the Dead:
