I have been a professional writer since 1987. I've written for newspapers, magazines, worked in the book publishing industry, and published novels and non-fiction books. In addition, I've guided numerous authors through the process of independent publishing, and offer workshops in that same vein. I'm the founder of the Parkinson's Comfort Project and over the course of six years, we gathered and gave away over 500 handmade quilts to people with Parkinson's disease.

Mr. Krugman Takes the Stage

Leave a comment

I’m a longtime admirer of Paul Krugman, the Nobel-Prize winning economist with the uncanny ability to explain the variables of trade economics and international business and local matters of money in a way that makes eminent sense. He’s taught at MIT and Princeton, among other academic institutions. After he was pressured to censor what he wrote, Krugman left his longtime post at the New York Times to join the Contrarian (which was started by former Washington Post columnist Jennifer Rubin and former White House ethics lawyer Norm Eisen) to pen his own columns.
