I am an editor and writer of essays, parenting articles, book reviews, and other types of word-content, which I compose primarily in a reclining chair in my living room, and for which I am occasionally compensated with actual money. My likes include literary fiction, Steve Martin, and videos of unlikely inter-species friendships. My dislikes include the gender pay gap, tyranny in the name of religion, and balloons. I live with three male humans and one female dog in beautiful suburban New Jersey.
