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

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!

Expelled Review

Here's a link to the New York Times's dismissive review of Expelled!: No Intelligence Allowed. The review itself isn't much (but then, I want a detailed rebuttal, not a shrug and a grimace), but I laughed out loud at the very end where they sort of let the facade drop:

“Expelled” is rated PG (Parental guidance suggested). It has smoking guns and drunken logic.

(Still haven't seen it myself, but it might be fun to watch and then complain about. I'm just checking out other reviewers first for the sake of my blood pressure.)
