edit data

I'm longtime journalist who has contributed to numerous publications, including the magazines for the New York Times and San Francisco Chronicle, as well as The Cut/New York Magazine.

I grew up in Coronado, California, riding my bike to and from the library, carting as many books as my basket would hold!

A lifetime of sports and ocean swimming helped me visualize the harrowing water scenes in Deep Water, and my journalism background fueled the research.

I'm currently working on another narrative nonfiction manuscript and several television projects. Thanks for your interest!

But if I'm really stuck, I try to suspend self-criticism and just write. It may need a lot of revision later, but that seems preferable to a blank page. At least it feels like progress.(less)

Book Launch Drama

Drama in a good way. As in, people lining up outside the Coronado Public Library 30 minutes before the doors opened. Standing room only. Guests turned away due to capacity limits (well, that part isn't good). One hundred books sold in the first 15 minutes. And the local bookstore is now on its fourth replacement order.

My children, Chris and Alison, helped as I signed books for 45 minutes before a Read more of this blog post »
