I've been a creative professional and event planner in the Washington, DC metro area for the last thirty years. Fade Away is my first novel, but I've got a lot in the works, including a collection of poetry, a graphic novel, a book of photographs, and at least two more novels.I'm passionate about mountain biking (though I'm not particularly skilled), love to strum the guitar (but can't seem to learn the dreaded F chord), and still hold out hope of playing point guard for the Knicks. When I'm not participating in any of these activities (or working, writing or reading), I'm probably hanging out with my wonderful wife and three kids ... and our fantastically quirky dog, Misha.
