I'm a recently retired college prof, with ten published novels (self- and small press) and a number of other publications. I grew up in Brooklyn, New York, and have a few scars to prove it. I find life both interesting and absurd, not necessarily in that order, and my works reflect this. My mother often told me that my first word was the question word, why. I still don't have the answer, but I try my best to make others as curious as I am. In addition to courses in international languages, I developed seminars dealing with the Holocaust and other genocides, the Superhero in World Literature, and several comparative literature courses. While I am too old to be fazed my success, I would like to have a few more discerning readers examine my works.
