Thank you for visiting my site! Here’s the straight skinny on me.
As a writer, I wear many hats: a beret for plays, a propeller-beanie for screenplays, a fedora for anthologies―and now, of course, a diving helmet for novels.
Okay, just kidding about the hats. But you may have gathered that I am, shall we say, a bit of an eclectic scribe. And although you can certainly call me a late bloomer as a novelist, I am delighted that Delacorte Press published my debut middle-grade novel, RAISING RUFUS. Please click on Books, Etc. to learn more about this book and to see what other literary mischief I’ve been up to.
Random facts about me:
- I grew up in a family of eight near Chicago.
- I’ve also lived in St. Louis, New Orleans, Ann Arbor, Austin, L.A., Green Bay, Buffalo, Boston, western Pennsylvania, Belgium, and New Delhi (India).
- I was once on Jeopardy! Came in second. (Crummy Final Jeopardy question.)
- I love to read, but wasn’t much of an English Lit student.
- Guilty pleasures: Tomb Raider, Survivor.
- I’ve met many celebrities. Pretty sure most don’t remember me (especially the ones who are now dead).
- I like cats, but am allergic.
- I now live in Southern California.
Thank you for reading this far. I’d like to give you all a dollar, but of course I can’t, so never mind that. But welcome anyway!
