Mini Bio

Hello, and welcome to my journal. Feel free to add me to your friends list, if you like. You don't have to ask my permission.

I'm a writer in Los Angeles. My first book, All The Fishes Come Home To Roost, was published by Rodale in October 2005.

Buy a beautiful, first-edition, autographed hardcover direct from me, for only $12.00 plus shipping and handling.

It's the true story of how my post-hippie parents raised me on a bizarre ashram in India devoted to Meher Baba, who is best known for having been Pete Townsend's guru, taking a vow of silence for most of his life, and for coining the insipid motto "Don't worry, be happy." I was the only foreign child within 100 miles of anywhere. Despite being Jewish by birth and a Baba-lover by parental decree, there was only one school in town, and so I spent my formative years attending Holy Wounds of Jesus Christ the Savior Convent School.

Read free samples of and buy my manga here! Gorgeous art by

telophase, martial arts, angsty psychics, and gay leather bars: what more can anyone want?

In case of dire emergency, my contact info and emergency contacts can be found by the LJ admins in a backdated private entry.

Anyone is always free to add me to their friends list for any reason. I don't often add back. It's nothing personal, I just have a large list already.
