Beyond the intricate details of his novels, especially the gripping tale of Johnny Talon and the Goddess of Love and War, lies a rich tapestry of experiences and contributions that define his unique identity.
“The author summons memorable imagery ranging from the Lovecraftian (“Eve grabbed my arm as an immense many-legged creature scampered past us to climb up the green stone road”) to the more whimsically Carrollian (a hookah-smoking butterfly passes a talking walrus playing cards),” Kirkus Reviews says.

Survivor and Thriver

His resilience manifested in overcoming adversity and finding love and companionship in the aftermath, marrying a neighbor he connected with in the heart of Times Square.
