I'm a writer, more excited about my May 2013 release, What A Mother Knows, than any of my previous books, scripts an essays! It's the culmination of all of them.I'm also battling breast cancer, so I'm groping through the fog and blurry eyes to make it count. My other books include Wife Goes On, 66 Laps, winner of the Pirate's Alley Faulkner Prize and nonfiction humorous parenting books, plus essays in anthologies from Mommy Wars to Arianna Huffington's Becoming Fearless.Produced scripts include "Heartless", an independent film that aired on USA TV, has been screening across Europe for the past ten years. I'm a graduate of the the School of Cinematic Arts at USC and earned my MFA at Antioch. I teach in the Writers Program at UCLA Extension and work as a manuscript consultant.Or rather, I did, but will again once this stupid, cliche illness is over!
