I'm a reader, a writer, and a sailor at heart. Some of the books on my shelf are ones that inspired me when writing Star-Crossed (Knopf;2006), my first novel, which has been chosen by the New York Public Library to be among their BOOKS FOR THE TEEN AGE -- 2007. I have also published two guidebooks (Pruett Publishing) and numerous articles, essays and short fiction.

I'm a real geek when it comes to history. In-depth historical perspectives, well-written memoirs, and biographies are joys for me.

When it comes to fiction, I prefer the classics and literary fiction -- but anything that is well-crafted and packs a punch, I'll take a look at.
