Hello
I’m a writer of fiction, non-fiction, and poetry. I teach fiction writing workshops and provide developmental editing and coaching services to writers.
I write family dramas, coming of age stories, and dark comedy. I have an MFA in Fiction from Bennington College and am the founding Director of Writing Programs at Salem Art Works, in Salem, NY.
I’m currently revising my debut novel, Forty Miles an Hour, a darkly comic coming of age story, set in Rhode Island in 1987, about a troubled college senior and an eccentric, semi-retired contractor who takes him under his wing as they both come to terms with their own shortcomings and learn what it truly means to make sacrifices for the ones we love.
