edit data

I dropped out of NYU film school in the mid 80s to play guitar and write songs for Woofing Cookies. We were a punk-pop four piece -- think R.E.M. meets the Ramones -- that toured up and down the East Coast, and had two singles and one full-length LP on Midnight Records.

The band broke up in 1987 and I followed my other passion, books. I've worked in the book industry ever since.

And, of course, I write. And I write, And I write, write, write.

For fun, I still play guitar and piano, and now I play ice hockey, too (though not very well).

I live in Colorado with my super awesome wife Kristen, our two sons, and our very energetic dog. ...more

Beautiful, Glorious Hockey

My son Luke’s hockey team — eleven and twelve year-old kids — had their final game of the season last night. They had played the same team, from Durango, earlier in the day, when they skated to a 4-4 tie. (In youth hockey, non-elimination games can end in a tie.) The two teams were very evenly matched, and both groups left everything on the ice.

Hockey clubs are like anything else in this world. T

Len Vlahos liked Kendall Gray's review of Life in a Fishbowl: "I typically fall in love with a story based on its depth, and a character's likability.

Len’s Quotes

“The story so far:
In the beginning the Universe was created.
