I am a graduate of New York University School of Education, and my first love is writing ghostly, dark humor and horror fiction. I also enjoy writing historical narrative and creative non fiction. A humorous thread is sprinkled throughout my five short story collections and four creative non fiction books, which are available on Amazon Kindle. I awaken every morning about 2:45 am as my first job of the day is to wake up the birds. I have always been an early riser, but there's no question that this is somewhat ridiculous. It is also, however, a quiet and peaceful time of day conducive to creativity for me.
