I've always dreamed of writing a book. As far back as I can remember, reading brought me joy—first collecting The Hardy Boys series, then devouring early Stephen King, which sparked something deeper. I didn’t just want to consume stories; I wanted to create them.

My first attempt was called Ghost Town. I cut paper to the size of a paperback and typed each page on my Brother Charger 11 typewriter, the keys clacking out my ambition one letter at a time. It was crude, imperfect, but entirely mine.

Years passed, but that dream never faded. And eventually—it came true. Not once, but three times. (A fourth coming soon.)

Newsletters are welcoming—like inviting someone into my creative living room, instead of shouting into the chaotic void of social media. Over there, it’s anyone’s guess who’ll see what. Here? It’s intentional. Personal. But don’t worry I won’t ramble. These days, attention spans come with scroll wheels. So, I aim to keep it short, snappy, and worth the pause.

Though we've crossed paths over the years either through school, work, theatre, film sets, or book signings, I've somehow managed to collect an impressive number of email contacts without actually keeping in touch. That changes now.

This marks my first newsletter. It's a quick introduction, or maybe more of a reintroduction. I've spent the past (cough, cough) fifty years collecting stories, moments, and experiences and now I’d like to share a few of them with you.

In the months ahead, I’ll be unveiling each of my books one by one, along with behind-the-scenes glimpses into their creation: the sparks of inspiration, the sleepless rewrites, the unexpected turns, and the emotional undercurrents that shaped them.

Let’s begin this new chapter together.
