ABOUT THE AUTHOR
I am a married father of three, and reside in southern New Jersey. Currently, I write full-time (that is, when I'm not working on business, my website design and author promotion business, AuthorPromo.com). While I enjoy writing in the genres of dark fantasy, supernatural thrillers, horror, science fiction, fantasy and mystery, I have been concentrating on horror and supernatural stories in recent years.
WITHER won the Bram Stoker Award for Superior Achievement in a First Novel for 1999The co-authored Wither was my first published novel. Columbia Pictures purchased the film rights to Wither in a preemptive, pre-publication bid. Wither won the Bram Stoker Award in 2000 for Superior Achievement in a First Novel. I followed Wither with the media tie-ins Buffy the Vampire Slayer: Ghoul Trouble and Angel: Avatar. Next came my stand-alone sequel to Wither, Wither's Rain. In 2004, I had two novels published, Angel: Monolith and Wither's Legacy. My most recent novel, Kindred Spirit was a June 2006 release.
I am an active member of the Horror Writers Association (HWA) and the Science Fiction and Fantasy Writers of America (SFWA), a regular member of The Authors Guild, and a member of the Garden State Horror Writers.
I graduated from Interboro High School (Prospect Park, PA) and Widener University (Chester, PA). That's the Buccaneers and the Pioneers, respectively.
