My author picture is of my kids hanging out with singer B.J. Snowden. I wrote for Rollerderby & Grand Street in the '90s and have a busy, inefficient life that now has me trying to form thousands of pages of schizoid ranting into a novel and a second book of poems. I think I won some writing award or other while flunking out of UNH. I was also nominated for a Pushcart Prize twice. Only loser writers mention Pushcart nominations, though. I also had a poem win Goodreads poem of the month and get emailed to a billion people. Maybe a little less than a billion. If you have read this far, please see all of the amazing free online books and chaps put out by BLAZEVOX & PUBLISHING GENIUS. Also—please forgive me for rating everything a "5". I know it's annoying, it's just that I am obsessed with fives and am euphorically indifferent. Bad book and I am relieved to have finished it? 5! Staggeringly great novel that has me sobbing all over the last page? 5! I'll try to change my scheme someday or add more reviews that explain where I am coming from, if anywhere.
