About Me

I'm the author of "The Geography of Nowhere," "Home From Nowhere," "The City in Mind," and ten novels, including most recently "World Made By Hand" published in 2008.

I live in Saratoga Springs, New York.
(Mailing address: PO Box 193, Saratoga Springs, NY 12866)

I was born in New York City, grew up in Manhattan, attended the High School of Music & Art (1966) and then went off to college upstate at SUNY Brockport, where I majored in Theater (1971)

I was a reporter for several daily newspapers and an editor at Rolling Stone Magazine in the early days. I dropped out of the salaried world to write books in 1975, and moved to Saratoga in 1976 where I remain happily.
