Bio

The Past: I was born and raised in St. Louis, Missouri and the surrounding counties in a middle class family by mostly loving parents (regardless of the famed “Plunger” incident at the age of 17). No one’s sure where all the really dark thoughts come from, but I chalk it up to a steady diet of books by F. Paul Wilson, Stephen King, Dean Koontz, Robert McCammon, and Lawrence Sanders, followed by unhealthy snacks consisting of too many Disney movies and cartoons, most particularly Beauty & the Beast, and the every so often hilarious and usually painful trauma of family gatherings. Oh, and there was the time, when I was eleven, that my mother dragged me out of bed to watch the original A Nightmare on Elm Street because it scared the shit out of her.

The Present: I no longer live in Missouri. I’m married with children. I like to write and I play too many video games.

The Future: Death. Fuck it; it’s inevitable. Get used to it.
