About this project
This isn’t a Capital-A Author™ website. You won’t find a photo of me leaning on a bookshelf, smiling like someone told me I should. (Looking at you, Patterson.) It’s just a place to put my words—on purpose, in public.
The stories here are sometimes clean, sometimes sharp-edged. Fiction meant to be read, not tucked away waiting for an agent to approve it. You’ll see some stories shorter than this blurb and some stories that approach War & Peace length. You know, if you put like 58 of them together.
The site is where my finished work lives, uncomfortably cohabitating with the occasional writer rant. If you want subscriber-only stories, drafts in progress, bad ideas, and the random noise behind the signal, the mailing list is where I share that. It’s free, and it’s usually worth opening.
If you like the writing, cool. If you like the person behind the writing, even better. And if you don’t like either… well, the internet’s big. You’ll find something.
About Me
A banker by day and a writer by night, I’m basically Batman—if Batman had no money, no abs, and 32 years left on his mortgage. Also no butler. I live in Cleveland with my beautiful wife and anywhere from one to five children, depending on the day. (I technically have five, but you never know how many are actually living with me at any given moment. Sometimes grandkids sneak into the count as a bonus.)
I also have a dog named Buttercup. The Princess Buttercup, if we’re being formal. Around here she answers to “Cuppers,” “Butters,” “Butter Butt,” or “%@*#$%.” Our two cats, Astro and Midnight, have no such identity crisis. They’re just cats.
