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.

vacation, booked


Vacation, booked. Me and M. That's all. No work, no networking. (I swear it. Fingers crossed.)

Where to? Not tellin. When? Soon.

But not before the Bookzilla-stravaganza Decatur Book Festival , right? C'mon on over.

All I'm saying is that Write Club will not be my usual kind of gig. In a good way! And that I'm honored beyond belief to get to interview Katharine Weber on Sunday, and am gearing up my smarter self to do her justice.

PS If you recognize the image, you'll know where we're going. Shhh....
