The adventures of an urbane bar-hopping transplant to New York.

About Me

My Photo
Name:
Location: New York, New York, United States

I'm a storyteller in the New York area who is a regular on NPR's "This American Life" and at shows around the city. Moved to New York in 2006 and am working on selling a memoir of my years as a greeting card writer, and (as a personal, noncommercial obsession) a nonfiction book called "How to Love God Without Being a Jerk." My agent is Adam Chromy at Artists and Artisans. If you came here after hearing about my book on "This American Life" and Googling my name, the "How to Love God" book itself isn't in print yet, and may not even see print in its current form (I'm focusing on humorous memoir), but here's a sample I've posted in case you're curious anyway: Sample How To Love God Introduction, Pt. 1 of 3. Or just look through the archives for September 18, 2007.) The book you should be expecting is the greeting card book, about which more information is pending. Keep checking back!

Current Events Poem: Writer's Strike Enters Thirteenth Week

The Hollywood Writers' Strike: A Clerihew

The writer's strike is in its billionth week,
And folks who hate reality are firmly up a creek.
There's just one tactic left to use, that I think wives and partners of the TV moguls oughtta:
Lysistrata.

...With acknowledgement to Sneb, who accidentally inspired the poem in a discussion of Seven Brides for Seven Brothers.
