  • Books

    Favorite authors include, in no particular order: James Purdy, Ruth Rendell, Patricia Highsmith, Denise Mina, Stephen King, Truman Capote, Oscar Wilde, Flannery O'Connor, E. Annie Proulx, and many, many others...

About me:

I am a writer of dark, usually gay-themed suspense and horror fiction. I’ve been called the “Stephen King of gay horror” (Unzipped magazine, October 2006) and my work has been sold in translation, optioned for film, and garnered very favorable reviews and sales. Although I consider myself primarily a novelist, my short stories have appeared in more than twenty anthologies. To check out my work, visit my website, where you can see my latest news, view book trailers, read excerpts, synopses, and reviews, and order autographed copies.

I live in Seattle, WA with my partner, Bruce, and our Boston Terrier, Lily. When I’m not writing, I’m usually still immersed in fictional worlds, via either books, movies, or theater.

Who I'd like to meet:

Charles Bukowski, Lily Tomlin, John Waters are the first three who come to mind. Lunch? But if I can be more all-encompassing, I would say that I'd also like to meet other writers/readers of horror, suspense, sick and twisted humor, and GLBT literature (that johnny-come-lately genre). I'd also like to meet agents, editors, predators, members of the lunatic fringe, closet Judge Judy fans, bookies, hipsters, whores, acrobats, linguists, and people who buy the painting that matches the sofa.

    Everything is based on mind, is led by mind, is fashioned by
    mind. If you speak and act with a polluted mind, suffering will follow
    you, as the wheels of the oxcart follow the footsteps of the ox.
    Everything is based on mind, is led by mind, is fashioned by mind. If
    you speak and act with a pure mind, happiness will follow you, as a
    shadow clings to a form.



    Much Luv
