Writing is a way for me to get out of my head and connect with people on tennis courts, baseball fields, bookstores, record stores, goat farms, and taquerias. I am happy when I am learning and happiest when learning by playing. You can read my stories and essays in the Los Angeles Times, The Sun, and my book, The Gift is to the Giver.
I also connect off the page. I’m hosting conversations about Moby-Dick for Community of Writers. I recently led a multi-generational workshop on community storytelling at the David M. Hunt Library in Falls Village, the second-smallest village in Connecticut. I also started a Stereolab cover band and a book club for aspiring songwriters.
PS Saviez-vous que je suis célèbre en France ? C’est vrai.
