I grew up reading comic books and watching movies; you can see their influences in my books. I started writing novels at the age of eleven; Amazon carries 50+ titles, fiction and non-fiction.I love Emily Dickinson's poems and William Faulkner's novels. I also love Quentin Tarantino's "Pulp Fiction," which has the feel of a novel. (I wrote a book about Tarantino, "Raised by Wolves," after the film's release.)My novel "The Secret Life of Emily Dickinson," published in 2010, inspired a community of more than 8,000 Emily Dickinson Facebook fans dedicated to the private poet's place in the 21st century. Dickinson is also the subject of my next non-fiction book, "A Loaded Gun: Emily Dickinson for the 21st Century" (March 2015, Bellevue Literary Press.)I invite you to join me on Facebook for "The Secret Life of Emily Dickinson" or "Bitter Bronx: Thirteen Stories."
