Author and playwright Howard Odentz is a life-long resident of the gray area between Western Massachusetts and North Central Connecticut. His love of the region is evident in his writing as he often incorporates the small towns of the Bay and Nutmeg States into his work.

The mysterious has always played a major role in Howard's writing. He is endlessly fascinated by the psychological aspects of those who are thrown into thrilling or otherworldly circumstances.

“I like writing about my part of the world,” he says. “After all, this is New England. There’s more than enough paranormal activity here to keep me inspired for years to come.”

Writing gives me the opportunity to fully realize some of those thought and ideas and memorialize them for others to enjoy. Also, when I really get into the groove, I like watching the stories flow out of my fingers. It's magical.(less)
