He/him

Highway 62 Press

I was born in California, sometime between the JFK assassination and the moon landing. Lived there my whole life. Learned to drive stick shift in the parking lot of the ziggurat that you see in Roger Corman’s Death Race 2000 and went to school where they filmed all those soft brutalist sets in Battle for the Planet of the Apes. I’ve worked in video arcades and think tanks, been an animator, taught sociology, thanatology and ethnomethodology.

My past writings include work for Blizzard Entertainment, stories in both Tomorrow’s Cthulhu and Welcome to Miskatonic University from Broken Eye Books. I’ve self-published a number of books, both nonfiction/commentary and short/long fiction works. I was also the writer and publisher of the weird western comic series Strangeways. 

The Hazeland series will be the bulk of my work for the forseeable future. Unless someone wants to pay me to do something else. It’s not like there’s a lot of money in this. Sorry, high priests of success. It’s true.

Sure. I’d love to be on your podcast.
