The co-authored WITHER was my first published novel. Columbia Pictures purchased the film rights to WITHER in a preemptive, pre-publication bid. WITHER won the BRAM STOKER AWARD in 2000 for Superior Achievement in a First Novel. I followed WITHER with the media tie-ins BUFFY THE VAMPIRE SLAYER: GHOUL TROUBLE and ANGEL: AVATAR. Next came my stand-alone sequel to WITHER, WITHER'S RAIN. In 2004, ANGEL: MONOLITH and WITHER'S LEGACY, then KINDRED SPIRIT (2006) and SHIMMER (2009). My most recent novel is SUPERNATURAL: NIGHT TERROR, based on the CW show. I am an active member of the Horror Writers Association (HWA) and the Science Fiction and Fantasy Writers of America (SFWA), a regular member of The Authors Guild, and a member of the Garden State Horror Writers. I graduated from Interboro High School (Prospect Park, PA) and Widener University (Chester, PA). That's the Buccaneers and the Pioneers, respectively. I also have a Web design (and hosting and web maintenance) business, AuthorPromo.com. Some of my clients are New York Times Bestselling authors Nicholas Sparks, Harlan Coben and Michael Palmer.
