About Me:

I reside in the Los Angeles area where I received a B.A. in Journalism from California State University Northridge. Alas, no career in that field came to me but I have been published numerous times in print though quite honestly in obscure publications. My passion are movies and that is generally what I write about. I love all movies from silent pictures to foreign language to independents though preferring black and white movies from the Golden Age of Hollywood.

I enjoy travelling with Paris as my favorite city. F. Scott Fitzgerald is my favorite author and it was thrilling to visit his birthplace in St. Paul, Minnesota. My favorite movie star is Natalie Wood and actor Errol Flynn.
