About Me

Atlanta, Georgia, United States
My first book, "Invisible Sisters: A Memoir" has been named one of "Twenty Five Books All Georgians Should Read!" I would love to visit your bookclub, either in person (in the South) or through the magic of electronics. My writing has received a "Special Mention" for a 2008 Pushcart Prize. I have been honored with a residency at the Josef and Anni Albers Foundation in Bethany, CT., a Fellowship at the Hambidge Center for Creative Arts in Rabun Gap, Georgia, and the 2009 Peter Taylor Nonfiction Fellowship at the Kenyon Review Writers Workshop. Locally, I teach workshops in creative writing, memoir, and feature journalism, and am a member of the faculty of an art college, where I teach screenwriting. I hold an MFA in Creative Writing from Queens University of Charlotte (N.C.) and a B.S. in Communication from Emerson College, in Boston. I used to work in television. I did not push the broom behind the elephant. Usually, I served as mahout - I drove the (allegorical) elephant. If he was SAG or AFTRA. Rock stars do not scare me.

Malaprop's, Asheville


What a wonderful kick to see Invisible Sisters: A Memoir in the window at Malaprop's Books in Asheville. And to read to a great group of people, and meet folks like Gillian, who read in the book in her local library, was vacationing in Asheville (who wouldn't want to do that!) and with her husband, happened upon Friday night's reading. Beshert - meant to be.

And Malaprop's is a class act; they gave me a gift bag with their house coffee beans to take home!

Well, well. Speaking of bookstores with cafes in them, I just happened to be in the Harvard Coop Barnes & Noble this evening. And guess which book I saw 8 copies of in the "Biography" section?

Face-out.

And guess which book I saw a similar number of copies of in the "Non-Fiction New Arrivals" section?

Double face-out.
