edit data

I am a native of the San Francisco Bay Area. I was born and raised in this region, unlike most other citizens of the Bay Area who are from another state or another country. I am a veteran of the punk/metal/new wave/oh-my-God-what-did-we-do-last-night club scenes of the San Francisco Bay Area in the Eighties and the early Nineties. I run marathons, I write novels, I meow back at cats and say hi to strange dogs that I meet. I am also a web applications engineer and a dedicated worker bee for the Oakland Athletics.

Tattooed – An excerpt from my upcoming novel Needle Pictures

Tattooed is the first chapter from my novel-in-progress Needle Pictures, book six in my Skye Wright Rise and Fall series.

In this scene Skye deals with punk prima donnas at a tattoo convention, in a testament to her increasing influence, while she tries to deal with rock and roll life demons.

Tattooed

The frenetic buzzing was consistent.
It was coming from all around, from every corn
