I've been a professional writer since the mid-1990s and have written for some the largest and most prestigious entertainment companies in the world, including Sony Entertainment, 2K, Ubisoft, Techland, Marvel Comics, DC Comics, Sega, and Top Cow.
My comic book work includes the acclaimed vampire series Impaler (which was a finalist for the International Horror Guild Award), 39 Minutes, and writing comics featuring Captain America, The Avengers, and Wolverine, among others.
I was the writer of inFamous, an exclusive title for the PS3 and published by Sony; InFamous received IGN's "Best Story of 2009" award. I also developed the story for inFamous 2.
My most recent video game work was writing the script for Dead Island: Riptide, the follow-up to the best-selling Dead Island.

"The story is rooted firmly in typical comic-book struggles, but the characters are so well developed, the problems so believable, that the deeper you plunge into the conspiracy the more fascinating it gets. As the story pushes you toward the chilling conclusion, you'll become completely immersed in this universe."
