Bi-racial Quaker American writer from Philadelphia. Author of the novel Old Music for New People (published by The Story Plant, 2021). Freelancer, contributing editor, and environmental consultant for nearly 40 years. These days, I am mostly a full-time novelist and publish with small press The Story Plant.

Here at Medium.com, you can find essays and commentary by me on creativity, identity in America, books, the power of language, life as a novelist, love, baseball, songwriting, authors I like, the human unconscious, and why many of the issues people think are political really aren't.

My new novel, Sound Effect Infinity, was published in January 2025.
