About Me

____________________________________________________________ I've been writing short stories for a couple of decades now and have recently tried my hand at script writing. I'm thinking of returning to my roots and going back to short stories, as I find script writing a little harder than I imagined. I always start out with a great idea but after a while of pouring out my heart and soul, it just sort of stalls and leaves me with a half baked idea that probably should have been a short story from the beginning. I find the medium of script writing to be so different and so dialogue driven, that I just can't seem to get my mind around it. Maybe I'll continue writing stories that can be converted into screenplays or scripts by someone else who has the script writing abilities (or patience) that I seem to be lacking.
Over the past couple of years I've been acting in a few Indie films with some great local Directors, cast and crew. I've also been helping out behind the scenes when they needed a grip or help with effects. Currently the films I've been in or helped out with, can be read about in my Blog. ____________________________________________________________

My Interests

Writing, acting, music (playing and listening).

I'd like to meet:

No one, I'm full.

Music:

Industrial, old and new. From Front 242 and Skinny Puppy to Rammstein and Turmion Kätilöt.

Movies:

Anything done by the great Ray Harryhausen. I also really like Ed Wood's films because they show you what can be done with little to no budget and that spending a little more time on something is much more important than spending a lot more money. Though, money helps.

Television:

Not much, unless it comes out on DVD like the Bruce Timm collections.

Books:

Not much anymore, though I really like Dean R. Koontz's stuff.

Heroes:

My family, my close friends and my wife, my terribly understanding and beautiful wife.

Writing

It's time to get off my ass and get back to writing.  I lost a completed novel on the computer a few years ago and I haven't been able to write ever since.  Now I feel the time is right to ...

My Art

I've spent some time working on the art part of my page.  Most of the pictures were done by me quite a few years ago, but I'm still doing one or two every now and then.  You'll notice a lot ...
