When my first novel WHAT I MEANT... came out through Random House, one of the biggest questions readers asked me is "What happened to Gina?"
WHAT I DID... follows Gina as she runs away from home, escaping into Philly. Why did she go? What secrets did she hold? This short story takes you out into the dark Philadelphia night, and into the darkness in Gina's mind.
WHAT I DID... is featured in the fiction anthology LIAR LIAR (Mendacity Press). And now there is a sequel to WHAT I MEANT..., a new novel titled OVER MY HEAD.

Shit Happens - Lessons learned so you don't have to
EVERYTHING IS A LIE, EXCEPT FOR WHAT ISN'T This is a work of fiction with a semi-autobiographical nature to it. The topics discussed here within are not at all based on our personal experiences and reflections on both ourselves and those around us. The stories told herein are anecdotal flights of fancy, tall tales to make you laugh, gasp, and wonder. This is all fabrication for the purpose of entertainment. As well, we recommend carrying around this fact-based, heavily researched dissertation on the negative effects of fraternizing and consuming alcohol and illegal substances wherever you go to ensure proper avoidance of the abject horror and utter depravity we have ourselves experienced and now share with you. God speed and God bless.Complete
