About Me:
I'm a graduate of the Johns Hopkins University Writing Seminars Program, where I majored in poetry and non-fiction writing. I also studied at Trinity College, Dublin and I hold an MA in History from McGill University in Montreal, Canada. I currently live in Israel where I work as a literary and foreign rights agent at the Deborah Harris Literary Agency in Jerusalem.
My poetry and short stories have been published, or are forthcoming from various print and on-line magazines. I've also written for The Jerusalem Report and The Jerusalem Post, worked in PR, grant-writing, website development, web-content editing and in too many bookstores to count.
You can usually find me cooking or reading, but I also do ceramics (in my non-existent spare time) and have been know to do Yoga and take walks with my pug, Pablo. Did I mention I have five kids? Yeah. That too.
