Frequently Asked Questions
Where are your books available?
Right now, my books are available on Amazon through my Author Page, except for Cabinet of Curiosities, which is available from this page. I do have some extra copies of Scraping the Red Sky as paperbacks. If you want one, please contact me.
How long have you been writing?
I started really writing fiction in the early 1990s. At that time, it was poetry, short stories, and movie scripts. I was a finalist in the 1997 World Animation Celebration Screenwriting Contest and got to develop my show idea with Klasky-Csupo, (they made most of the famous Nickelodeon cartoons in the 90s like Rugrats.). The pitch wasn't picked up but it certainly inflamed my writing itch, which I am still scratching to this very day.
I need something written. Are you available to hire?
Yes! Please contact me with your writing needs. My rates are reasonable and I'm sure that we find the best way to make your project a reality. You can also check out my freelance writing website.
How can I read your stories?
Most of them are only available through Amazon Kindle, and can be read on any app that can download and read Kindle content. These apps are available for laptops, smartphones, standalone Kindle Readers, and similar devices. Some of the larger books like the anthologies are also available as paperbacks.
Where do you get your ideas?
Anywhere and everywhere, though I often find them in the least likely of places, such as next to the used chewing gum on the bottom of movie theater seats.
OK, I'll bite. What's with all of the rusty sculptures on this site?
These all came from my last visit to the Swetsville Zoo near Fort Collins, Colorado. Sadly, the zoo is being replaced by less-interesting condominiums, though there are plans to incorporate some of the sculptures into the landscaping.
