I am a writer both by trade (magazine articles and corporate projects--see my site's About Me section for more details) and by preference. While I enjoy "business writing," my passion is for fiction. Long fiction, short fiction, bits and pieces of fiction (character sketches, dialogue)--any kind of "make believe" writing that takes me from my reality into my characters' reality. Favorite authors? Agatha Christie, Shirley Jackson, Ray Bradbury, Mark Helprin--a mixed bag, to be sure, and just a few of those with whom I "keep company." I write, I read, write some more and so it goes...
