I was born and raised in Kentfield, CA, just north of SF. Like many boomers (1955) I wanted to be a Beatle, and spent many years chasing that dream. Meanwhile, I got a job as a copywriter in the ad biz, had a family, made a living. Stories were always popping into my head, but I didn't start writing them down until my forties.

My debut novel, "Hack" was published by Harper Davis publishers in August 2012. My second novel, "The Healing of Howard Brown," was published in August, 2016 by Baby Bingus Books, and is the winner of the 2017 Independent Press and Firebird Award for Literary Fiction. My latest novel, "American Corporate", was published around Xmas 2018. In July 2021 Baby Bingus Books published "For Want of Grace - Collected Stories."

Read it in college, when I was introduced to the "cut up" style of writing, where the author literally cuts words, sentences, phrases out of a newspaper, throws them on the floor to see what kind of new ideas it generates.

Janis, Peggy and the Garden of Glass - Part II

A satirical imagination can be a dangerous thing.

Since I originally posted this imagined fantasy of Peggy Caserta's rock-star party cottage that once sat on my property in Coon Hollow, I received several comments from readers that I was unaware of until now.
