FIRST THINGS FIRST: My first graphic novel, BLUE, is coming in July from Desperado Publishing. Order code is MAY083778...
BLUE is a modern take on a classic fairy tale, Bluebeard, which means... serial killer ahoy! Shapeshifter girls, ghosts, indy rock boys, creepy wine cellars, hidden lairs, lots of knives... and, of course, New York City.
Art on BLUE is by the hella awesome Sami Makkonen. You'll find much more on BLUE at our blog: http://bluecomics.blogspot.com
BAND/MUSICIAN REQUESTS:I'm no longer accepting band requests. Sorry, it just got too loco with the automated scripts adding me all over the freakin' place. If you're a real person, and you want to be added, by all means, just drop me a note that tells me you're not a bot. That's all it takes!
I'm a professional writer living in Brooklyn, New York. Affiliations include:
Publications include NEGATIVE BURN , CRYPTIC magazine, Endicott Journal Of Mythic Arts , Llewellyn's Tarot Reader and Magical Almanac.
Forthcoming projects include stories in Comic Book Tattoo: A Tori Amos Anthology (with Carla Speed McNeil ) and over at SMITH magazine (with Mike Jasorka). And....

BLUE is drawn by Sami Makkonen.
If you just so happen to find yourself typing my name into Amazon, you'll find a goofy yet beautifully drawn Frankenstein adaptation for middle graders that I wrote in 2007. Jason Ho did the art on that one.
I've also worked with Adam Boorman, Jeffrey Zornow , Dash Shaw , Kevin Colden and this hot guy I'm married to .
