| Welcome to my web page. I write musicals and fiction. Currently I have several major projects in-progress in both genres, including the novel I wrote for my creative thesis at Spalding University (MFA, 2014) and a musical about a world-famous sleuth. Three of my original full-length Broadway-style musicals were produced at RiverStage, an amphitheatre on the Ohio River in Jeffersonville, Indiana. I’ve won several writing competitions and published short fiction in numerous literary magazines. I’ve had a wide variety of experiences, including foreign travel to 15 countries and have studied abroad in Scotland, Barcelona, and Ireland. I also earned degrees at the U. of Louisville (M.A.) and Western Ky. U. (B.A.). I’ve worked as a journalist and book reviewer, taught in high school and college, created and managed a student television station, co-edited a literary magazine, and for 15 years was lead singer/front man in local rock’n’roll bands. I’m a former mini-marathoner and scuba diver, and still enjoy weight-lifting. I’m a founding member of the Grasmere Writers, a critique group that also occasionally presents dramatic readings, and includes Joe Peacock, Michele Ruby, and Bob Sachs.
