Greetings Friends and Readers!
 
I write retro-fiction about American life between the 1960s and the 1990s, with characters and settings from Buffalo, NY, and occasionally other locales.
 
The plotlines are universally recognizable to women of all ages, I’m told, and the insights are deeply meaningful across multiple generations.

Buffalo Book of the Month: City on the Edge, by Mark Goldman
 
This non-fiction classic, published in 2007, is my go-to book for understanding Buffalo's rise and fall from glory, and later redemption. Serious and erudite, this book packs a punch.
 
Buffalo Bills Believer!
