Here's a little bit about me.I began my varied career as an interior designer, where I held the job of coordinator of the Interior Design/Decorating Certificate Program at Queensborough Community College for 20 years. Now I'm on the faculty teaching courses in memoir and creative writing. But it's not such a stretch, There are many similarities between interior design and writing. Interior design calls for putting fabrics and furnishings together, aiming for that perfect note of color, texture and scale. Everything arranged in a way that instantly strikes the eye as a balanced whole. Writing is similar, except that instead of objects, you put people and plot together to create that balance. A world made with words.My first novel, “Lily Steps Out”—twelve years in the making—earned “Published & Proud,” a feature article in Newsday’s Act II, followed by “Rita Steps Out,” in the Times Ledger. My short stories and essays have appeared in literary journals including The Alaska Quarterly Review, MacGuffin, The Iconoclast, Art Times, The Sun, The JewishWeek, Kveller, Down in the Dirt, Flash Fiction Magazine, Backchannels, LochRaven, Chicken Soup for the Soul and others. “Feminine Products,” is my most recent novel. I am the book reviewer for the Fire Island News.As a speaker, I have presented at libraries and synagogues, at Hofstra University and CW Post Hutton House on topics as varied as decorative arts, interior design, creative writing and memoir and "Coco Chanel ~ The Woman-The Legend." I read a segment from Alterations on "The Author's Corner" for Public Radio and have guested on The Writer's Dream, LTV, and The Amy Beth Arkway Show, on blog talk radio.
