Probably not a day goes by that he does not learn something new about the craft or is reminded of something he has forgotten.

Although he has been writing and publishing for thirty years. Only a fraction of his work bears his real name.  He has lived in Baltimore most of his life, but has spent time in New York, Los Angeles and Europe.
