| Location | Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, United States |
| Introduction | Until recently I was executive editor and reporter for a business magazine based in Chicago. (Now I am a research consultant for the same company, working on a contract basis.) In addition to business reporting, I also write horror novels and short stories; two of my books -- "Brain Cradle: Menagerie of the Perverse" and "Filthy Beast: Fiendish Lullabies" -- remain in print. I co-founded the Philly-based hardcore/punk band Violent Society. I'm an Aries, not that I know what that means. I have been a strict vegetarian since 2005. I live in Philadelphia, but I left my heart behind in Chicago. |
