About me
I was born in New York City, into a family of writers, which was a blessing and curse. For while I love to write, I don't always like being a writer. It's a 24/7 job, with no days off. I sometimes threaten to change professions. The only problem is, writing isn't a profession. It is who I am.
I've been writing since I first learned to form letters on a page. Since then I've authored/edited/ghosted more than four dozen books, written scores of newspaper articles, syndicated a column and taught writing at various colleges.
I've got a master's in journalism and a Ph.D. in writer's angst. I carry a pen and pad wherever I go. I eavesdrop on conversations to steal dialogue. I have more book ideas than can comfortably fit into my brain. I write even when I'm not writing. I drive my family crazy. I drive myself crazy too.
Still, I write.
I can't explain why, but maybe I don't have to. If you're reading this, you likely understand. We're kindred, wacko souls, you see, and it's nice to have company.
With you on the writing road,
