I'm a former cab driver (listed first because it was my childhood dream to drive for a living), former writing teacher/tutor & adjunct English instructor, former literary journal editor, former newspaper reporter/feature writer, and former many other things (grocery bagger, video store clerk, janitor...).

My post-Roe v. Wade novel THE AGE OF THE CHILD, about the immediate & 20-years-later impact of a Roe v. Wade overturn, is available in paperback wherever you buy them, on Audible, and on Kindle. "Make this go viral, book world," wrote a Goodreads reviewer.



Other novels: semi-autobiographical wartime novel PRETTY MUCH TRUE, & man's-midlife-crisis-as-viewed-through-the-female-gaze novel THE YEAR OF DAN PALACE.

I've contributed to JaneFriedman.com, mostly with Q&As with writers and others in the publishing industry.

Childfree Girls is a (retired, but available) web series and podcast I was 1/3 part of and am 3/3 proud of. Short fiction collection: CAROL'S AQUARIUM.
