I have wanted to be a writer since I was in early high school. In college and graduate school I majored in creative writing. My first publications were poetry published in Temple University's literary magazine TRACKS, which I also edited. I worked as an Associate Editor at the Journal of Modern Literature at Temple University as my on-campus work-study employment. In graduate school I edited CONTACT, the Colorado State University literary magazine, and served on the University Arts Board which oversaw all extra-curricular publications and arts events. In 1975, with Bob McNamara, I founded L'Epervier Press, which published book-length volumes of poetry. I moved back to Philadelphia in 1977. Through the late 1970s and into 1980s I wrote poetry and short stories. I published poetry in Quarterly West, Chowder Review, Abraxis, Wind Journal, Rocky Mountain Creative Arts Journal, Green House, Dakotah Territory. In 1983, in graduate school for a degree in Film and Television, I started writing screenplays in addition to fiction. My first screenplay, Paper Work, was a finalist in the 1983 Nissan/Focus screenwriting competition. In 1992, a long short story of mine called My Grandfather's Denver was published in Cottonwood Magazine, number 47. In 1992, I started to write plays. For more information on my plays, click here. In 1985, I was among the founding member of Working Writers Group, now one of the oldest on-going writers groups in the Philadelphia area. In 1996, Working Writers Group celebrated its tenth year with the publication of an anthology of works written by group members called A Hundred and One Nights. I was represented in the anthology by a short play called Views of the Lion. In addition to these publications, I have had articles published in several professional journals including the Philadelphia ITVA's newsletter, Playback, and the Philadelphia Dramatist Center newsletter, First Draft which I edited for several years. I have also written articles and texts for corporate clients, including employee benefits handbooks, in-house newsletter and journal articles, and medical and scientific articles, fact sheets, and updates. Samples of my writing are available on request.
