About

I specialize in narrative—which is just another way of saying storytelling. I've written well over 100 narratives in my career, two of which were adapted into TV movies.

A longtime contributor to both the US and international editions of Reader's Digest (and former contributing editor to the US edition), I've also contributed to a number of other major magazines.

I’m the co-author of the award-winning Something to Prove: A Daughter’s Journey to Fulfill a Father’s Legacy, the author of The Midget's House, a historical novel inspired by my former home in Sarasota, Florida, and the author of Siege: An American Tragedy, about the US Capitol insurrection on January 6, 2021.

I hope you enjoy browsing my work.
