Trivia
While employed as a technical writer in the aerospace industry, he sold his first story to Ellery Queen's Mystery Magazine in 1969. With the success of his 1980 book "The Howling," he switched from mysteries to horror and became a full-time writer.

Quotes
On writers he would like to see back in print: Frank Gruber, Richard Sale. Darn near anybody who wrote for the old pulps. I have great admiration for these guys who churned out some pretty good stuff for a penny a word, or less.
