The Start of Something Big
This is a book Ana and I have been dreaming of writing for 17 years. It is our love letter to the world.
Bio
What I Do
I have a passion for great writing. Excellence is one of my most cherished core values.
The exquisite beauty of a powerful idea expressed in words, whether through a single sentence or a 700-page novel, is something that has stirred my soul since as long as I can remember.
So . . . What I do: I search out transformational ideas and stories and bring them to life in words.

Blessed Fragility
11-15-10 | It’s always good to find new things to be grateful for. Today, the thing I’m most grateful for is that Ana is here with me in Massachusetts for a few days … and that she is alive.
That Difficult, Impalpable Muse
11-8-10 | You people are so sweet and thoughtful.
In the Rough
11-5-10 | I’m in that place again. Knee-deep, waist-deep, neck-deep in the writing process, smack dab in the hardest part the part where it feels like there’s nothing there, and like nothing will ever be there, that it’s a big gaping void, an unfillable hole, blank white pieces of paper that will refuse to be productively written upon no matter what I do.
The Vexations of Evangelist King Mann
10-11-10 | Have you encountered those online articles that people write in foreign languages and then put through a translation filter? They’re pretty hilarious.
