I'm a writer.  Whether for print media, movies, tv, novels, short stories, essays or a blog - I just write...   I love politics & have worked as a press liaison for two Dem. Nat’l Conventions & ended up a Dep. Press Secretary in NY for President Carter. After moving to LA, I wrote for sitcoms and documentaries, then followed the path of so many others by punching my ticket to studio development hell.  So, I became a speech writer for celebrities stumping for Clinton-Gore.  The rest is history. Well, their history-not mine. I periodically appear as a guest columnist in newspapers/magazines(from Teen Beat back ‘in the day’ to the sports section of the NY Daily News). I also finally put my youthful art lessons to use & became an on-air guest Design Consultant on HGTV. Recently I started a home staging business. This coincided very nicely with the housing market bust which means I haven’t given up my day job..writing.
