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 seeking a home for 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.
