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.

Tropical diversion



Why 'splain when I can let M's sketches do so much better?

Here's what we've been /up to.

I do also have to tip the straw hat to Books and Books on Lincoln Road, who has reordered Invisible Sisters before I even showed up (!) and has terrific, smart taste in stock. Never mind my work, I mean in general. Lots of people reading in Miami.

Also lots of people doing yoga. The 7am sunrise yoga class on Third at Ocean? About 25 people each time I went, and it was cold for Miami at 7 am.
