A journalist by profession, I’m the author of "Winter Light," due out Oct. 6, 2020, by Vine Leaves Press. I'm also the author of the novel "The Wind Thief"  as well as "Growing Great Characters From the Ground Up: A Thorough Primer for the Writers of Fiction and Nonfiction." I’ve had a short story nominated for a Pushcart Prize, a full-length play produced in Hollywood and fiction published in Watchword, Iconoclast, Anthology, Bookpress, Berkeley Fiction Review and other literary magazines. An editor and writing coach, I also offer presentations and workshops, both in-person and online.
