Who I Am
I read, I write, I occasionally look to make sure my kids aren't playing with matches.
My novel, Continuity, is repped by Laney Katz Becker of Markson Thoma.
More about me and my writing.

In lovely Lowell, MA, it’s going to be a lovely 54 degrees today–perfect marathoning weather! But at the moment, it’s a mere 34 degrees, which begs the age-old running question: shorts or tights?

This morning was the boy’s first day of hockey. He’s taking instructional, which covers things like basic skating, stick handling, swearing, passing, body checking, shooting, teeth replacement, and all the other necessities of hockey. It’s the first step on the long road of 5 a.m. practices, traveling teams, and hockey dads (which seem to be [...]

Doodles: Are Uncle Jon and Alicia having a baby yet?Me: Not yet. They only just got married a couple of weeks ago. Even if they had a baby right away, it would still take nine months, remember?Doodles: Do you have to be married to have a baby?Me: No, you don’t. But being married first is [...]
Friends Don’t Let Friends Vote Republican

For the record, my parents are Democrats. So maybe I should just send this to Adam’s family:
