Welcome


I'm glad that you've come by. Feel free to drop me a line using the Discussion tab above, visit my blog, and check out forthcoming events. (If you are interested in my other blogs, just click on the links in the right column under "Blogs.")

I write nonfiction, fiction, screenplays, and online video:

• my nonfiction concerns psychology and spirituality;

• my short fiction has appeared in several online literary journals;

• I am actively writing film scripts for commercial production;

• I write, direct, and produce video for online education and entertainment, available for sale.

I also appear on television as an expert on various topics, including Mormonism, Freemasonry, Dan Brown, and the psychology of conspiracy theories. (I live in midtown Manhattan, convenient to production and broadcast facilities.)

Links to some of my published and in-progress work will be found under the Works tab above.
