About Me

My book "Things They Never Taught Me" is available now. Click here to purchase it.

I like strawberry smoothies and drive-in movies. I'm blond and of average height. Some people claim I can carry a tune, which is useful because I like to imagine that I can sing. Singing hymns still strains my voice, so I'm probably doing something wrong. I'm married to a beautiful medical resident. I'm currently writing my next book. I've loved the audio-visual world as long as I can remember. I'm a major news and political junkie. I love to travel, and wish somebody'd get around to concocting cheaper fuel so I could get around more. All this petrol is so retro.
