A Digital Nightmare Worthy of Stephen King
Nov 29, 2012
I suppose everyone has a love/hate relationship with his electronic devices. In my case, it’s mostly hate though I love search engines. I couldn’t write effectively without one. Facts give a plot its credibility. That said, I approach my computer with trepidation every time I fire

A new book has come out by Eben Alexander, Proof of Heaven: A Neurosurgeon’s Journey into the Afterlife. Dr. Alexander fell into a comma and during this period, he believes he had a vision of heaven. As he is a westerner and a Christian, his vision is congruent with traditional reli

Before I decided to devote myself to writing, I was a visual artist, silk painting mostly, but I did a number of hand-painted eggs which I sold at a local art gallery. I loved to work with miniatures because the concentration it required made the world drop away. To be honest, I was a

Thoughts on Grieving
Nov 21, 2012
The park this morning was crystalline with rain. As I walked along a leaf strewn path, the lines from a Shakespearean sonnet came to mind: That time of year thou mayst behold in me, when yellow leaves, or none, or few, do hang upon those boughs which shake against the cold, bare ruine

Pitfalls of a Thank You
Nov 20, 2012
Recently I had coffee with a friend and over our steaming mugs, she reacted to one of the magazines I mentioned in passing. “Town&Country? I never thought of you as an elitist,” she giggled. Unphased, I replied with an airy wave of my hand. “If I ever meet an elitist, I fe

Nov 19, 2012
Michael Callahan’s piece on Daphne du Maurier in the November issue of Town&Country, (pg. 54) heartened me like a light blinking in the wilderness. Recently, I’d been interviewed by a young journalist for my new book Trompe l’Oeil. She asked what genre best described my work
