My Dad used to tell me The Story of Everything. It began with The Big Bang and ended with a brown-eyed girl named Jessie. So, as the culmination of all preceding history of the Cosmos, I must learn everything and how it all fits! As a writer of fiction and screenplays my insistent curiosity, ear for voice and dialect, plus a store of history, science, myth, art, literature and film allow me to explore people and worlds near and far; give voice to the long past, the silent or yet to be discovered.

My mental and physical health and wellness writing flows from my own experience of mental health challenges and trauma healing, combined with movement and rest medicine for chronic health issues. I believe in our ability to befriend and find comfort in even unruly minds and bodies through adaptation and practice. While not a professional, I strongly recommend working with licensed practioners as part of our journeys towards living well with limitations.

Aside from storytelling, history and language, I’m Tolkien/Trek, yoga and mindfulness nerd. Aspiring “eccentric.” Kubrick and Kurosawa take top directors. I’ve read The Rise and Fall of the Third Reich over twenty times and counting. I do deep dives. I like Americans, like Whitman, Melville and Vonnegut, but my favorite book is Camus’ The Plague. Give me that dense T.S. Elliot and those tricksy Irish scribes as well.

My favorite place is Skyrim. My favorite class is mage. I usually play as England or Rome in Civilization. I live with my former USMC hero and bestie. Unapologetic fan of Morrissey and other charmingly put-out Brits. I like listening to Mozart, but probably vibe more with Beethoven. Truly enjoy Shakespeare. Dinosaurs are cool.

More “About Me”

A Jersedelphian with ties to Lancaster County, PA, I graduated with honors in Film from The University of the Arts. I have been honored many times over for my writing and film work, including by the Academy of Motion Picture Arts & Sciences (see my Awards N Such). I also spent three years in Costa Rica where I taught English as a Second Language and worked on Spanish to English translations. I’ve worked as a freelance writer for nearly 22 years.
