About Me

My hobbies include writing, digital photography, reading, music and movies - to name but a few. Oh, and a good Merlot or Cab or Bordeaux or 20+ year old port. And dark chocolate. And macadamia nuts (from Trader Joe's, the best). And pizza. And, of course, once in a while a strong rum and coke or a very salty margarita.

I have written and had published/printed close to one million words - feature articles, news stories, commentaries, op-eds, ad and promotional copy, website copy, brochures, white papers, a novel, short stories, poetry, you name it. I have also edited virtually every type of written work. If you need anything written or edited or proofread, hit me up.

My crime thriller novel was self-published under Scott Frank, a pseudonym, The title is "Darkness Descends." One of my very favorite writers, Clive Cussler, had some nice things to say about my work: "I truly enjoyed it. A real spellbinder with a multitude of twists and turns through a labyrinth of intrigue. A read not easily forgotten...a timeless tale of suspense." You can find it on Amazon.

I've been doing semi-pro photography for several years, primarily people, animals and landscapes.

I am currently working with a fantastic new songwriter who has created some extremely hot pop, jazz, blues, country and reggae songs. More on that in the near future.
