Meet the Author

Before I began writing novels I worked in the film business as a writer/director. My very first feature film, Love At First Sight, Dan Aykroyd's first film, was invited to Filmex in Los Angeles by the American Film Institute.

I directed some other movies too including "Melanie" starring Glynnis O'Connor, Don Johnson and Paul Sorvino and "Café Romeo" starring Jonathan Crombie and Catherine Mary Stewart. I also wrote and directed a goofy thing called "Home Is Where The Hart Is" starring Leslie Nielsen and Martin Mull and my sister, Valri Bromfield.

But you can't really get any good original ideas out through film without using up your whole life and a lot of other people's money. If you have a lot of good ideas.... well, your kind of screwed.

In the 90s I ran a software company. My team and I won the Newmedia Invision Award, Newsweek’s Editor’s Choice Award and Parenting Magazine’s Magic Software Award for a musical painting app for preschoolers called "Paint ‘N’ Play".

I directed many episodes of children’s television. But I really wanted to tell larger, strange, funny stories for adults because I know they need them. So I've written a few short stories and the novels At Large and Nora-9 and I've started work on an interactive eNovel that will be completely different the second time you read it. So far I've written about the obesity epidemic and the end of humanity; two subjects that I happen to think are closely related in a peculiar way.

Here's my official quote: "I don't think we are going to solve some of the problems of society until we can laugh and are no longer frightened by them."
