About

I'm a writer from Boston, Massachusetts.


My short fiction about aspirng ghosts, trivial psychics, and petty saboteurs has appeared in journals such as Smokelong Quarterly, CHEAP POP, and BULL. I'm currently working on my first novel.


For many years, I've contibuted book reviews to publications including The Boston Globe, The Washington Post, and The Wall Street Journal, among others.


I'm also a two day two-day Jeopardy! champion and, as a result, a somewhat useful meme that shows up on social media every so often.
