Hey fam!
I know I don’t post often (recluse, terrified of vulnerability, etc.), but here’s me trying. I’m working on a memoir—expect queer stories, dramatic overthinking, and dog updates as I leap into the new year. Stay tuned!

I grew up in Far Rock, taking the A with no heat or A/C. But h/t to my dad who called for track work in 1973 in the NYT. Ok the last line's a bit much but, like a good writer, he raised the stakes! #MemoirInProgress

College is in the rearview—and now the real adventure begins. Over the next few weeks, I’ll be finishing my memoir, applying for jobs in publishing and editing, launching Sigma Writing Solutions, and getting ready to begin my MFA at SNHU in August. Also helping my daughter Ollie start college herself, while polishing Gemini Project, my debut fiction novel.

I took this pic last May when we stumbled onto a film shoot in Cape May NJ. "What movie?" we asked. A Dylan biopic we learned. It's now up for a bunch of Oscars.
Loved the extras in '60s garb. Likewise for the Johnny Cash tunes; we played 'em in my band way back.🥁🎸🎻🪕 #MemoirInProgress #drummergirl
