About Me

Former voracious reader now with less time and focus, so enjoying/exploring short stories. Dancer, hiker, fan of movies, music and baseball; useless info geek.

Will disco for food.

Why do you write?

I write when I'm inspired to do so or when I just need to get it out of my system, but try to make it so that the result is hopefully least somewhat interesting/entertaining. Constructive criticism always welcome.

Any favorite authors? Books?

William Kennedy, Roddy Doyle (especially The Woman Who Walked Into Doors and Paddy Clarke Ha Ha Ha), Ian McEwan, Kate Atkinson (esp. Case Histories), Nick Hornby, Jonathan Franzen, Annie Proulx, Cormac McCarthy, Pete Dexter...
