I make my living in high tech Competitive Intelligence, but I live to write fiction.
This blog is titled Flash Fiction for the Cocktail Hour because it’s a quick hit to soothe the brain at the end of the day. It might even be an alternative to a martini or a shot of scotch. It’s a place for me to play around with fiction.
My suburban noir fiction has appeared in Ellery Queen’s Mystery Magazine and Alfred Hitchcock’s Mystery Magazine and EveryDayFiction.
Psychological suspense (Ruth Rendell, Patricia Highsmith) is my favorite genre, but I also love to read literary fiction and often find psychological suspense threads in the work of my favorite writers, including Joyce Carol Oates.
On Sundays you’ll find me on the golf course at sunrise, but only during April – October. I can do without the frozen toes and swampy grass of late fall and winter when I prefer to hibernate with books, a fire, popcorn and a glass of wine or scotch.

I love the idea of the fine line between ranting and madness. It is indeed.
Ranting is one of my gifts as well. I just wish I could incorporate it into my name.
My favorite rants are badly written movies. I enjoy griping all throughout a bad flick, much to the dismay of other viewers who may like it.
