edit data

If I have to describe myself, I’d say I’m a bumbling, half-assed, streetwise mystic looking for meaning in this crazy world. I can also say I worked for 25 years as an Executive Editor at Entertainment Weekly and People magazine. Other highlights on my CV: As a recovering addict and alcoholic, I’ve spent time in jail, rehab and a psych ward, and I’ve managed to stay sane and alive since then. I’ve tried to capture the struggle for spiritual survival, every day, every hour, every moment, in my books.
