I’ve always written in some form or another. Character monologues, essays, journals, and magazine articles. For the past several years I’ve been a contributing editor for a food, love and politics blog called Oneforthetable.com. Its published by my friend Amy Ephron. All of the graphics for my OFTT articles are done by Lisa Dinsmore. I’ve also written stuff for the Huffington Post, The Believer, an article for the LA Times Magazine, Esquire; then’s there’s just my 2 cents.
