Short story in issue 23 of THE2NDHAND

About Me


I have a website right about here .

I write fiction, as well as music criticism. In the former category, my short story "Spencer Hangs Over Newark" appears in issue 23 of THE2NDHAND . A PDF version is available online, while the print version is available in finer book- and record-selling establishments.

I'm also involved in the operation of the East River Music Project , a summer concert series in Lower Manhattan now entering its fifth season.

A few years ago, I edited a zine by the name of Eventide; I was co-owner of Your Best Guess Records. These days, I call Brooklyn home.
