I’m from New York state. In 2002 I founded Theatre Metropole, an English language theater troupe in Paris. I’ve worked as an assistant director on French-language play productions in Paris. “Werewolf and Idol,” is my debut novel. Most of my creative work has been for the theater. I’ve written more than forty one-act and full-length plays. I’ve created stage adaptations of seventeen short stories by Edgar Allan Poe (seventeen one-act plays) - some of these have been produced in New York, Paris, Toronto, Oxford (England), Pretoria (South Africa) by various theater companies. My comedy sketches for two actors have met with success in book form and I’ve directed short film adaptations of some of them. My short films caught the eye of Crackle.com (a Sony company); I was given royalty contract from 2007-2009. I’m a 1994 graduate of the master’s program in creative writing at Boston University where I studied under Nobel laureate Derek Walcott. I traveled to Japan and Asia several times for research and writing my first novel.
