My personal Substack
Writer, Traveler, Researcher, Educator, Lover of architecture, art, wine & history. I write historical fiction, edgy murder mysteries, pop culture explorations (sci-fi, vampires, etc.), short essays. I teach film, & food writing in the US & Italy.
I'm a novelist & travel writer living in Italy for over three decades --dividing my time between Rome and Tuscia- northernmost corner of Lazio. I am a passionate traveler, art collector, and home cook, and a lover of curious places off the beaten track.
The capacity to live our lives in interdisciplinary ways can be found at the heart of who we are, what we do and all we might become. These are my evolving reflections on the remarkable transformations and possibilities interdisciplinary thinking enables.
Writer, journalist, historian, researcher, 60 year resident in Italy. Like my unique palazzo in central Italy, my substack includes a variety of subjects: lifestyle, expats, interviews, travelogues,guest posts. Come visit!
NOTE: I have moved this newsletter to beehiiv. Archive will be removed in February. Making, doing, and making do. Fortnightly updates on my work, insights into the writing life and practices of making, and reading recommendations.
