About
My main character (Amy Dylan) and I have a lot in common:

We were born and raised in New Jersey.

We graduated from Montclair State University, though her college days were far more eventful than mine.

We have martial arts training. I have black belts in hapkido (a mixed martial art) and taekwondo. Amy's fighting skills are on par with a black belt ranking, but she has no formal training.

We have daughters. Mine turns eleven soon, while hers is sixteen.

Those are the quick hits. Just a little more about me…

I count Stephen King, Thomas Harris, and Stephen Coonts as early influences. I also enjoy Patricia Cornwell's work, and I get my quick fixes from Sports Illustrated columnists Peter King and Tom Verducci.

I've lived in a small town near Raleigh, North Carolina since 1998 with my beautiful wife and daughter.
