I’ve been writing since high school. In college, I ventured into the realm of television production where I eventually evolved into writing promotions and tv ads for many years.
Writing The Jersey Devil was something of a lifelong goal. Initially it started as a short story that I wrote ages ago. However, I always felt I could turn the idea into a novel. After many starts and stops over the years, I finally resolved to put my ass in the chair, set down written goals for its achievement and got working at it. The book took less than a year to write the first draft. It took a couple more of trimming, altering, tweaking, rearranging before I was finally satisfied that it was ready for public consumption.
The folklore of New Jersey’s most popular mythological creature has fascinated since I was a kid. My first encounter with the creature happened at church camp. Located in the middle of the Pine Barrens, I remember the camp counselors telling us stories about the beast around the nightly campfires. I became transfixed. Over the years, I researched and read a variety of books on the legendary creature. I have also hiked many trails in this part of the state – not looking for the creature but enjoying the unique beauty the area offers. To say fleeting thoughts of the beast never entered my mind while walking in the waning light of dusk would be a lie but those thoughts did offer ideas that you will read in the book.
I am currently working on other projects that involve aspects of the thriller genre and look forward to sharing them in the future. If you have purchased my book, thank you for taking the time to read it.visualizza meno
