I’ve written
articles for American Artist, Art and Auction, Print Quarterly, Journal of the Print World, Print Collectors’ Newsletter, The Tamarind Papers, and Works on Paper. I’ve served on the Print Committees of The Boston Museum of Fine Arts, The Museum of Modern Art, The Metropolitan Museum, and
The Whitney Museum. I’m a member of the Editorial Board of Print Quarterly, and an Honorary Keeper of American Prints at the Fitzwilliam Museum, Cambridge University. I’ve been President of the New York City Art Commission, and Vice Chairman of the New York State Council on the Arts. I’m a school junkie: I have a BA in English, an MBA, and an MA and a Ph.D. in Art History. I’ve worked as a library assistant, as a researcher at a management consulting firm, as a Wall Street securities analyst, and as a writer for financial magazines. I’ve had a host of part-time jobs, from answering telephones to stuffing flyers in envelopes.
But my desire to write fiction never disappeared, and I continue to take writing classes, and to read, read, read.

Mississippi and Tennessee until I was ten, when my parents settled in the small town in North Carolina where my mother was born, and where her mother and sister lived. As soon as I was 21, I took a train to New York to seek my fortune. I’ve lived in New York City full or part time ever since, except for two years in Boston at graduate school.
