Writing My Novels

I love Hollywood. I’ve spent my adult life here, writing/producing/directing. I also love detective fiction. I grew up with Hammett and Chandler and now I read EVERYTHING. Current Favorites are Michael Connelly, Lee Child and Don Winslow. I’ve even got a replica of the Maltese Falcon in my office.

So, when I decided to start writing novels, I chose to write about what I know best, Hollywood. I also like novels with a liberal sprinkling of humor and sex, so I decided to write what I love to read.

I’ve written three novels so far; Dead and Not So Buried, Sexy Babe and In Cold Blonde.

Photography

I’ve been telling stories my whole life. But as two-hour movies, one-hour TV shows or books hundreds of pages long.

I love photography because I get to tell a story in one image, and I’ve been lucky enough to travel the globe with my camera in search of iconic images.
