I write things. Novels, novellas, short story collections. Available on just about every on-line book retailer. And I cook and bake and bicycle and nap. Opinions totally my own.

Some of you may not know that years ago, I wrote a raunchy thriller/comedy as a celebration of the Halloween season. One reader called it "a great short story, that for its full impact needs to be read during the last week of October." It's $0.99 on Kindle. a.co/d/0g4AKZ7Y

I realized I almost never post pics here so. Moose, a stop on a run, homemade carbonara, one of my son’s fish, homemade challah, happy me.
