About Me
Married, two kids; moved around, worked 30 years as a clinical social worker wandering inside the heads of the mad, the bad, and the totally unbelievable, in psych hospitals, schools, and jails. Was a features writer for The Boston Tab in its early years, I wrote a book about my experiences in social work which no one will publish because they can't believe it. Now a novel: adventure, magic realism. Fantasy saves lives. Dreams are inspiration. Magic is real. Books are everything.
