Yes, I used to be a teacher. But don't hold that against me.
All my students said I was pretty cool.

But then I had kids, and they tell me I'm not!
(But what do they know?)

I was born and raised in New York, and although I have since moved from New York,
I can't seem to get rid of my heavy New York accent!
Due to the accent, fans and readers often ask me if I have ever mugged anyone.
My answer has always been, "No."
But keep asking me, because you never know if that answer will change.

I wonder why people often ask me this question,
and have been told it's because I sound like one of the Sopranos.
(You know, from the TV show.)

My books are fast-paced, high-energy "page turners"
with LOTS of action, comedy and suspense.

So... if you think reading is hard or boring,
you haven't read one of MY books!

Check 'em out! I'm told they're really cool!

And if you like them, "like" me on facebook,
(see top of this page to do that)
and don't forget to write on my facebook wall and say "hi" to me!
I promise I'll write back.
