*UPDATE –June 2008–
In May of 2008 I completed the first draft of the manuscript for my new novel: a contemporary satiric political thriller (with twinges of mystery and romance) chronicling the effects of corporate fascism and mass globalization on a diverse group of individuals with intertwining stories. The events of the novel span the globe from Philadelphia to Mumbai and take place against the backdrop of a heated American presidential campaign. At this time I am unsigned and have no immediate plans for its publication.
I am currently working on some short stories and performing preliminary research for a planned novel to be set during the Great Depression.
Any editor, agent, or publisher interested in my future works can feel free to contact me through the comment form on this blog.

In the past I have specialized in psychological suspense and thrillers, but I plan to broaden my scope in the coming years with satire and literary fiction. I currently make my home in Voorhees, New Jersey. I am a graduate of Elon University in North Carolina with a background in psychology and criminal justice.
The Thief Maker is available through Barnes & Noble, Amazon.com and anywhere fine books are sold.
