About Me

My photo
John Stell
I've been a practicing Certified Public Accountant since July 1989. Married my wife in May 2001. Our children were born April 2002, March 2005, November 2007, and October 2009. I've had articles published in Movie Club, Midnight Marquee, and Monsters From the Vault. My book Psychos, Sickos, and Sequels was published by Midmar Press in April 1998. But marriage and family responsibilities have halted any future books for right now. I have a massive DVD collection which provides hours of viewing enjoyment (when all members of the family have settled down for the night) and I manage to make it to the cinema on occasion. I try to see all the films nominated for the Best Picture Oscar (and have succeeded every year since 2001).
