About me . . .
I bring to my workshops more than thirty years of experience in publishing as researcher, writer, editor, and instructor in a vast array of subject areas including essay, memoir, food, travel, fitness, health, mind/body/spirit, creative non-fiction, fiction, and more. My latest book, a travel memoir, TANGO, AN ARGENTINE LOVE STORY, was endorsed by bestselling authors, Sylvia Boorstein and Laura Fraser. My work has appeared in numerous publications, including Islands, Country Living, Yoga Journal, North American Review, Vegetarian Times, San Francisco Chronicle, Los Angeles Times, Christian Science Monitor, Washington Post, and the New York Times. My short story, Plot Theory, won third prize in the 2006 Kurt Vonnegut short fiction contest. I’ve just returned to my home of many years in San Francisco from Buenos Aires, Argentina, where I lived and taught during the past three and a half years.
