About Me
I am a reporter with The New York Post with 27 years experience as a journalist. I have written three books. My first book covered the 1999 Baltimore mayoral race. The second was a fictional novella about sports. The third book chronicled the history of the Philadelphia Phillies, who have lost more games than any other team in baseball. I am currently shopping a screenplay about a salty, old cigar smoking, drinking landlady who aids a struggling writer through divorce with wit and wisdom.
