What initially got you interested in writing?
I wanted to find a creative outlet that would allow me to explore and express in an entertainment context certain humanistic, spiritual and socio-political topics that were important to me. In my novel, Miracle Man, which is a psychological/conspiracy/medical thriller—I was able to do this.
What genres do you write in?
Thrillers are what I enjoy writing—particularly thrillers that deal with psychologically interesting characters who are involved in things that have tremendous impact on the lives of large numbers of people.
What drew you to writing these specific genres?
Thrillers allow me to create action packed plots and subplots with complex characters and underlying themes.
How did you break into the field?
By sitting down and starting to write and pushing myself to do the best work I could.
What do you want readers to take away from reading your works?
I want my readers to enjoy my work, to find it engrossing and entertaining. But I also want them to think about the important subjects that underscore the action oriented plots.
What do you find most rewarding about writing?
The opportunity to express myself and create something that lives independent of me.
What do you find most challenging about writing?
Doing all of the research required to make the book interesting and realistic and striving to keep the reader wanting to read “just one more chapter”.
What advice would you give to people wanting to enter the field?
Try to have a really original idea for your plot and your protagonist.
What type of books do you enjoy reading?
I mostly enjoy thrillers.
Is there anything else besides writing you think people would find interesting about you?
I’ve had a very interesting career as an entertainment/media lawyer and in that capacity I’ve represented many famous music artists—so, I have more than a few good anecdotes about them.

shook his head incredulously. She had been so damn sexy,
funny, full of life. Why the hell couldn’t she leave well enough alone? She

and more dependent on him and that’s how he liked it. She was adventurous and creative
beyond her years. Freaky and bizarre. He had been enthralled, amazed. The
higher she got, the wilder she was. Nothing was out of bounds. Everything was
in the game.

co-sponsors of their mutual dissipation. How far they had traveled without ever
leaving their cruddy little city. They were so far ahead of all the other kids.
remember in what month of their senior year in high school the drugs became
more important to her than he was. And in what month did her face start looking
so tired, her complexion prefacing the ravages to follow, her breath becoming
foul as her teeth and gums deteriorated. And in what month did her need for the
drugs outstrip his and her cash resources.

somehow this would make him feel absolved. It didn’t. He shuddered as he
clutched the shiny black bag, the increasingly cold wet wind blowing hard
against him. He didn’t even want to try to figure out how many guys she had sex
with for the drugs.

was repulsed by the odor, and he was pretty sure he saw the quick moving
figures of rodents foraging in the mess. The third was piled above the brim
with construction debris.

of some large garbage bags which were just a few feet inside of the dumpster’s
rim. As he climbed down, his body looked bent and crooked and his face was
ashen. Tears streamed down his cheeks and bounced off his hands. He barely
could annunciate, “Please forgive me,” as he shuffled away, head bowed and snot
