My new blog, where I occasionally write about my health journey and physics theories: Welcome to Heaven.
My stories have been performed live by Bill Camp, Michael Cerveris, Cassidy Freeman, Campbell Scott, Maggie Siff, and others. You can listen to Maggie Siff read my story “Double-Blind” on this WORDTheatre compilation.
And here’s Cassidy Freeman reading the first story I ever wrote, about my sisters and me and our summers up at Lake Winnipesaukee.
I write stories with heart and humor and I love seeing my work performed on stage. My favorite compliment comes from WORDTheatre’s Cedering Fox: “The cameramen were crying.”
