Welcome to my home on the Web. I'm a Chicago journalist and fiction
writer with many years of experience working for newspapers and
magazines. I'm also a proud member of the American Society of
Journalists and Authors.
I went to WBBM-TV in Chicago for my first job as a news department
production assistant (mainly delivering scripts and finding film
clips). My first reporting job was at the Pioneer Press in suburban
Chicago, then on to the Los Angeles Times, and eventually a long stint
at the Chicago Sun-Times. At the Sun-Times I was an entertainment
reporter, dance reviewer, and technology reporter, and helped develop
the newspaper's fledgling Web site. The site and staff won Best
Innovation from the Inland Daily Press Association and the Dvorak
Award for Web content.
I have been on television and radio talk shows, discussing arts topics
that affect Chicago. Having left the Sun-Times, I am pursuing a
freelance career and have been published in the Chicago Tribune as
well as in numerous technology magazines, including The Industry
Standard, Grok, and Connect-Time. I also do arts stories for Dance
magazine and the Tribune.
Fiction fills up whatever spare time I have. My first novel, Excited
Light, is out via ASJA Press. Please go to the Excited Light link for
information on how to purchase the novel. I've completed two other
novel manuscripts (see links), and am currently working on a fourth
novel. A short story of mine, "Wili," was published in Folio literary
magazine in Winter 2001.
Although technically a suburbanite, my house is three blocks from the
Chicago border, where I live with my husband and three cats. I am a
tennis addict, also. If you're looking for a doubles partner, I'm
there.
