Bewildering Stories biography

I was born in Cleveland, Ohio, and I’m a retired English professor from Norfolk State University in Norfolk, Virginia. Married with two children, I’m spending my time playing tennis, reading and writing.

I’ve published three hundred stories in The Speed of Dark, Weird Tales, Whitley Strieber’s Aliens, Galaxy, The Age of Wonders, and elsewhere.

In addition, I’ve published thirty-one books, including science-fiction novels such as Speaker of the Shakk and Beyond Those Distant Stars, winner of AllBooks Review Editor’s Choice Award (Mundania Press), and Alien Dreams, A Senseless Act of Beauty, and (YA) The Merry-Go-Round Man (Crossroad Press).

MuseItUp Publishing has published seven science-fiction novels. They are Dark Wizard; Dax Rigby, War Correspondent, and five in the ongoing Inspector of the Cross series: Inspector of the Cross, Kingdom of the Jax, Defender of the Flame, Conqueror of the Stars, and Skyburst.

MuseItUp has also published the paranormal fantasy The Blue of Her Hair, the Gold of Her Eyes (winner of Preditor’s and Editor’s 2011 Annual Readers Poll), More Stately Mansions, and the dark erotic thrillers Steam Heat and Wet Dreams.

Musa Publishing gave my science-fiction time-travel story “Killers” their 2013 Editor’s Top Pick award. Some of my books are available as audio books from Audible.com.

Two of my major themes are the endless, mind-stretching wonders of the universe and the limitless possibilities of transformation: sexual, cosmic, and otherwise. I’m the former Chairman of the Board of the Horror Writers Association and the previous editor of Horror Magazine.
