I'm originally from Kittery, Maine, where I grew up, and I received my BA in anthropology from the University of Maine. I currently live in South Philadelphia with my wife Jen, and our two cats, JD and Luca. In addition to novels, I also have my movie blog, the Direct to Video Connoisseur (dtvconnoisseur.blogspot.com), where I look at direct to video and low-budget films; and the accompanying podcast, the DTVC Podcast, which can be found on iTunes, Spotify, and other major podcatchers.
