I view life as a smorgasbord of unlimited new experiences for those willing to withstand the occasional queasy stomach. This is why my knowledge of many of the legal, insurance, and other topics on which I have written for more than 15 years comes from hands-on experience.
As an attorney, I represented hundreds of clients in real estate transactions, and I myself invest in residential property. The troubles and triumphs that I witnessed and personally experienced informed my writing of the book The Complete Guide to Investing in Duplexes, Triplexes, Fourplexes, and Mobile Homes: What Smart Investors Need to Know Explained Simply, just released by Atlantic Publishing Co. I have also written briefs and memoranda of law on a wide range of issues.
I left the practice of law to focus on my real love: writing. I was a staff reporter, and later Assistant Editor, for the weekly insurance magazine National Underwriter-Property & Casualty. As a result of covering events for the alumni publication Columbia Law School Report, I came to research and become engrossed by the efforts of governments to reclaim their cultural artifacts from looters and museums .
On the creative side, I won a prize in the Three Cheers and a Tiger Spring 2004 Short Story Writing Contest (www.toasted-cheese.com/ezine/archive.htm). I am also a playwright; my most successful production to date was Morrison -- about The Doors' iconic singer. I also wrote, directed, co-produced, and co-edited Black Sails, White Seas, a short video inspired by a character in Bram Stoker's Dracula.
