A graduate of the University of Iowa Writers’ Workshop, I have published three young adult novels, a novel for grownups, and three nonfiction books, as well as short stories and nonfiction, and won Narrative Magazine's Winter 2012 short story contest. My novels have won awards: JUGGLING was an ALA Best Book and THE STORE THAT MAMA BUILT was one of 3 finalists for the National Jewish Book Award for Children's Literature.
I have made my living mostly as a political speechwriter and now teach as an adjunct at American University in Washington, D.C., publish non-fiction magazine cover stories and op-eds, teach speechwriting workshops, and provide radio and television commentary on politics. Speechwriters and students from both political parties use my book, THE POLITICAL SPEECHWRITER'S COMPANION (CQ Press, 2009).
