About meI grew up in Chicago in the sixties, I remember and absorbed it all. I remember being born and the kaleidoscope images of childhood. My mother read to me, acting out the characters and put the pictures in my head. I danced on a corner and made it rain, I discovered magic or power, it was child’s play. Art was another early discovery when I saw a bunch of girls crowded around a fellow classmate I looked over to see what was going on, he was drawing Peanuts characters. I read just about everything that came my way; a writer has to live both in his imagination and the world of experience and I think I’ve done both. I lived the first twenty-three years of my life in my imagination. From the earliest years reading about pirates, baseball players, racecar drivers, mythology and after I put the books down the adventures continued in my head and backyard.

If you want to know more about me you can find me in the pages of my books, in between the lines.

About my libraryAll over the place. I guess you would call it eclectic. I've read just about every kind of book there is. Well, you can omit self-help. I'm a big fan and heavily influenced by Kerouac, Fitzgerald. More conteporary writers that I'm into Robert Gover (he has a new book Two Brothers you should check out), Lewis Shiner.
