I am a dweller in two worlds, at home in none. It has made for interesting perspectives throughout the course of my lifetime. In essence, I am a Brooklyn bred scribe with roots in the rural South. I am the author of Snippets of Midnight and The Bloat King, tales of assorted madness.I grew up in the 70s and 80s in Brooklyn, NY. My geeky inclinations sprouted at a particularly young age which left me adrift with all the other nerds and outcasts. Huddled like field mice over superhero comics and fantasy TV shows, or delving deep into mythology and the lore of swords and sorcery. Dabbling here and there with one story after another until my synapses sparkled with creativity.I still recall reading Lovecraft, H.G. Wells, and P.K Dick styles of fiction well into the early morning hours, armed only with a flashlight and covers for a tent. My love leans toward almost any classic horror tale, pulpy scifi flicks and thrilling action films.Cultivating the best of my influences- the frenetic pace of action flicks, the visceral visuals of the pulp slasher genre, and the underlying panic of the classics- I enjoy crafting unique tales of the human spirit and condition set against the backdrop of terror or mayhem. The world itself is filled with its own brand of madcap characters and wild engagements. I invite quick, literary excursions into a universe full of macabre characters and decidedly wicked supernatural beings.I am upfront, open, and love to meet and speak with people from all walks of life. My sense of both story and life grows with each person I meet and each interaction I have. I welcome input, advice, and many thoughts from other creatives, and hope to exchange my own observations with those I meet as well.All best,JTview less
