Welcome to my literary website. A native Washingtonian, I've been writing books and articles since 1983. I'm an Univ. of MD grad where I majored in political science. I retired from Georgetown University in January 2020 after 44 years in scientific research. I lost my wife, Margaret (Schwarz) Moore, to breast cancer in 2018 after 40 beautiful years. We raised two amazing kids, Charles and Suzanna Moore.

I described all of my literary experiences in a 2021 interview with Steve Hauk in this video: LIVING on MUSIC

In 2021 I completed a history with Birchmere founder/owner Gary Oelze: All Roads Lead To The Birchmere: America's Legendary Music Hall   Visit the Birchmere Book page for updates and info. Thanks! Steve

My first publication was a profile of Carroll James - published in Washingtonian Magazine in December, 1983. Carroll was the first American deejay to play "I Want To Hold Your Hand."  

We later released his 1964 interview with the Beatles on an extended 33 rpm record.

Another article was published in the Published in   Washington DC suburban Journal Newspapers in 1987 when Bruce Sprinsteen tapped Nils Lofgren to be in the E Street Band
