I’m basically a family guy with a science back ground who has always maintained a love of solid science fiction and writing. For over two decades I’ve been a business man involved in sales of new window technology. (That’s real windows with glass and frames)

My freelance non-fiction credits include articles describing new advances in the metal window and glass industry for technical journals such as Glass magazine, Traditional Buildings and Window & Door, as well as a lead article on Spain in the Newark Star Ledger’s travel section. The novel and my stories represent a blend of my science background, which includes a B.S. in Chemistry, my love of Heinlein-style science fiction, and my years of writing seminars and novel roundtables. 

I’m a big fan of writers connecting with other writers in both classes and writing groups, and am happy to share my experiences of what works in both cases.

Science fiction readers should find that my stories somewhat topical as they incorporate  the space thriller motifs of classic Heinlein and Ben Bova’s planet series. As with both authors, my worlds haveh flawed characters who must face human conflict as well as formidable glitches of new technology. We are also seeing a revival of interest in NASA’s planetary explorations, including new data about Saturn and its largest moon, Titan. In my recently completed novel, Borgus and the Duke, I also add the theme of robotic interaction, popularized by Asimov, but with a new twist. Where Asimov asked how human can robots be, Borgus explores how a human might experience life and crisis from within a robotic body.

 When I’m not writing or in my business genre, I’m playing with my kids, ballroom dancing or traveling the world, both in reality and sometimes, I admit, alternate universes in my head.
