  • I'm working on my novel about a young girl growing up in the late 70's/early 80's. Her older sister is "mysteriously" handicapped or crazy or both, her best friend is extra-mature (and a bad influence), her mother is always cranky, and she finds out some secrets she didn't expect to hear.

In short

  • I suppose every writer has been writing since they could hold a pencil, huh? I've been lucky enough to make a career out of it, but writing boring corporate stuff is nothing like creating an alternate universe--that is, the one we live in while bringing our own characters to life. My hopes: That you will laugh heartily as I recount my observations of growing up in the late 20th Century, that you enjoy re-living your own pasts through my stories, and that you want me to write more.

  • I'm the singer for bliss.city.east. Never heard of us? Not surprised.
