In short

  • I used to toil in the ranks of WEbook as their Managing Editor, but I left to travel with my girlfriend and finish my first novel. Now, I blog for WEbook about writing and generally pursuing literary dreams. Oh, and I used to be a book editor at various NYC publishing houses, including Macmillan, Workman and for packager Melcher Media--but the whole making money thing wasn't working for me, so I decided to try something new.

  • I actually left my job to live the dream of writing full-time. And yup, I'm almost 40.
