About the author

I'm from a small town in Upstate New York called Niskayuna, located in the city of Schenectady. At an early age, I was given a typewriter for my birthday, started writing, and have been documenting his imagination ever since. Writing throughout all of grade school and college, my efforts and dedication to the craft paid off when I was finally published in 2000 with THE RONIN POETZ. Now, The Ghost of Gabriel's Horn is my fifth published work, having previously penned an epic poem, a book of 12 short stories, a quirky novel about a heist, and a novel of historical fiction. I currently resides in Brooklyn, New York working as an editor and proofreader.
