I am the author of To Do the Deal: A Novel in Stories (self-published, Demitasse Press), which was long-listed for the Crook’s Corner Book Prize in 2015. Kirkus Reviews said about the collection that I was “an observant and entertaining writer.†The title story from that collection, “To Do the Deal at Bed & Bunk,†was a place winner in Bethesda Magazine’s Short Story Contest, and another story appeared in Fluent Magazine. I am a career writer and have written on science, health, and wellness for lay audiences.
