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.

Last Letters
9-21-07 | Exactly one year ago, my dad died. He lived a very long life (he would have turned ninety this April) and a very rich one, too, and was loved by pretty much everyone who ever met him, none the least of which were his three sons (the middle one of which—the baloney in the brother-sandwich—is me).

A Very Personal Intersection
8-11-07 | This week I had to have new photos taken for the back cover flap for The Go-Giver, which is coming out in hardcover right after Christmas.

Instructions in Unctuous Condescension
5-16-07 | I recently received this e-mail from my good friend Scott Ohlgren. First few paragraphs in, I had to go back and re-read carefully to make sure it was a joke. By the time I reached the end I was LOL, as they say. ROTF, in fact. LMAO. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did.

Requiem
4-16-07 | Requiem — Last night I took a quiet Sunday night off to watch the film Bobby, Emilo Estevez’s lovingly crafted homage to Bobby Kennedy. I was six days shy of my fifteenth birthday on June 4, 1968.
