I grew up in a suburb near Chicago called La Grange. It was really quite a nice place to be a kid. Coming from a large family, I had to find ways to sort of make my own private time. Reading was one way to do this. Television was always a shared activity in my house, but reading was quite personal. I found an escape in books unlike anything else I could do. I found I was attracted to fantasy and to the macabre.
Halloween was always my favorite holiday and I liked to decorate and set up a neighborhood haunted house on the front porch. One year I remember my house was so frightening that many children passed it by, too scared to even come take a look. It's amazing what some sheets, a black light and some cardboard cutouts can do.
I discovered I enjoyed writing at an early age. In high school, I was involved in theatre and directed stage props and lighting from the booth high above. We communicated with headphones with the arc lights and backstage and I found myself making up stories to entertain everyone during when not much else was going on. These were mostly comical and I try to infuse some humor in my writing whenever appropriate.
I find the realms of the unusual and bizarre to be particularly interesting. They allow me to let my imagination run wild. Sometimes, I even surprise myself by what appears on the paper beneath my pen. I hope the reader enjoys my writing as much as I enjoy creating it.
