About
I'm a broad-based newspaper and magazine human interest and lifestyle feature writer with hundreds of articles appearing in publications such as Newsday, The New York Times, The Los Angeles Times, The Saturday Evening Post, Parade.com and many others. In addition, I'm the author/co-author of three non-fiction books.
I'm also the founder and producer of Long Island's premiere literary events series, Long Island LitFest -- which brings best-selling authors, chefs, celebrities and other notables to local audiences at various venues, for talks and book signings.
I'm bilingual (Spanish), and based in New York.
