I'm the author of nine novels, most recently Baby (2012). In 2009 I published my first work of nonfiction, Dogged Pursuit: How a Rescue Dog Rescued Me (Hudson Street Press). This was followed by another memoir, Seven Seasons In Siena: My Quixotic Quest for Acceptance by Tuscany's Proudest People, (Ballantine Books 2011). I also write for comics and the stage, and front the fusion rock band 7th Kind; our latest CD is Sea Monster. Follow me on Facebook and Twitter and visit my website.
