The idea for my novel began with a creative writing course at the Writer’s Loft in Chicago, taught by Jerry Cleaver, author of “Immediate Fiction”. It continued to mature with my attendance at the Backspace Writers Conference in 2010, and Thrillerfest in 2014. Walking the streets and back alleys of Chicago at night served as further inspiration, and set the stage for many of the scenes in A Wolf Like Me. I currently live in Oak Park with my family, where we lounge on the front porch in the summer and curse the midwest in the winter.
