Readin', writin' and 'rithmetic. Minus the 'rithmetic part.
Music
I like me some Pixies, Better Than Ezra, David Crowder Band, Foo Fighters, Wilco, Weezer, Fountains of Wayne, Kingston Trio, Hillsong, Derek Webb, Silversun Pickups, and just about anything with distorted guitar.
Movies
Drama: Shawshank Redemption, Gattaca, Crash, anything by M. Night Shamalamadingdong.
Comedy: Monty Python, Blazing Saddles, Fletch, Dodgeball.
Documentary: Anything by Errol Morris.
Wild Cards: I'll watch, and probably enjoy, anything with John Cusack, Philip Seymour Hoffman, John C. Reilly or Jack Black.
Television
Didn't your parents ever tell you television rots your brain? That said, I rotted my brain in my early years by watching "Rod Serling's Night Gallery," "Kolchak/The Night Stalker" and "Wild, Wild West." Later came "Twin Peaks" and "The X-Files." More recently, it's "MXC" and "Lost."
Books
I tend to like mysteries and dark fantasies with a touch of the supernatural, but I read a dash of everything.
Heroes
Thor, Ghost Rider and Silver Surfer. No one else ever came close.
About me: I write "Noir Bizarre" stories, mixing elements of the crime/mystery and supernatural/fantasy genres. Blame it on an unhealthy fascination with "The Night Stalker" and "Rod Serling's Night Gallery" as a child.
My second, THE DEAD WHISPER ON, released in hardcover Summer of 2007 (Trade Paperback April 2008), fulfilling my lifelong desire to write a novel featuring both living shadows and spontaneous human combustion.
My third novel, THE UNSEEN, released Fall of 2008.
A few interesting facts/tidbits about me:
• My long list of past odd jobs includes trimming Christmas trees, sorting seed potatoes, selling strawberries, and cleaning cadaver storage rooms.
• As a teen, I was undefeated in air guitar competitions (a record of 3-0), in which I performed songs by ZZ Top. No, really.
Who I'd like to meet: Most near anybody. Please feel free to leave a comment, but keep your images less than 300 pixels wide. Wider images wreak havoc on my layout, and my obsessive/compulsive tendencies can't abide. In other words, if you slap a big ol' image in my comments section, I'll slap it back out.
Love the "Unseen" trailer. I'm heading on over to Amazon when I get off here to order my copy. Hopefully someday soon I'll be swinging back home to the Big Sky State to visit. Thanks for the friendship, Glen

Thanks for adding me- Thomas Nelson is sending me your book for a review- will take about 30 days to reach Italy. Will let you know when I publish the review. Don't expect anything sugary, I write with a pinch of salt.
