Chicago, Illinois
I'm a recovering award-winning advertising copywriter and broadcast media producer. I'm a movie lover, musician, history buff, photographer and entrepreneur. I frequently surprise and delight others with my unusual take on things. I love to research and then write fiction that gravitates toward the unusual and surprising (but believable).
