ABOUT ME
WRITER probably sums it all up succinctly. Marketing and pharma-related copy and plans fill the days, bringing strategic insight and laser-focused targeting.
​
In my spare time, I try to stay busy. I founded the Main Line Writers Group in Wayne PA and the Wilmington-Chadds Ford Writers Group in Wilmington, DE, and I continue to run the former. For over fifteen and thirteen years respectively, the groups have focused on providing members with content to better their craft, help them publish their work, and make friendships with other writers.
I also created and run Noir at a Bar, a live reading event for local authors of crime and suspense short stories. These days, we run an annual reading for the benefit the Oxford Public Library during October or November.
​
I've published more than 25 books, including two co-authored with my then pre-teen son Seth. I created Writers Bloxx TM, a storytelling game and writing prompt tool that gets rave reviews from people who play it. And my own short stories have been published in a myriad of print and online anthologies and periodicals.
​
There are plans for a podcast, 999 Words or Less, focused on work and interviews with authors of flash fiction. Not quite sure when that will get launched, but I suspect soon.
​
Yep, WRITING sums it up pretty well.
