Biography

For 22 years, I’ve dedicated myself to the written word with a career that has spanned magazines and newspapers, books and screenplays, and everything in between. As a freelance writer, I’ve contributed to outlets including Rolling Stone, Variety, Maxim, Glamour, Out, Whole Life Times, Angeleno, Yoga Journal, Body and Soul, Business Traveler, Fashion Magazine, Chicago Sun Times and many others, including having blogged regularly for AOL and Gawker Media.

My work has also led me to creating content and marketing materials for clients such as AT&T Interactive, Lawrence Moore & Associates, Wagstaff Worldwide, Louis Karno & Associates, Booty Parlor, Behr Paints, Hollan Publishing, Molson Breweries, Hairroin Salon, The Feng Shui Guy and more.

As a published author, I’ve contributed to three anthologies (published by Random House, Cleis Press and Phoenix Books), edited one (published by Caroll & Graf), and had my memoir published in 2007 (Phoenix Books) in addition to several ghost-written projects. I’ve sold three short scripts and have seen two produced, and I continue to work on both television and film scripts in the genres of drama, sci-fi and comedy.

I’ve also spoken and presented at the University of Southern Missouri, Toronto Women’s Bookstore, Elliot Bay Books, In the Flesh Reading Series, Blue Stockings Bookstore and many others, and have been nominated for several Internet-related awards, having won one for Best Online Publication at the Canadian New Media Awards. I’ve been a panelist – and later, volunteer coordinator – for numerous Internet-related conferences, and volunteer my time with RAINN (the Rape and Incest National Network) and WriteGirl, a non-profit dedicated to helping at-risk teen girls develop their writing and communication skills.

I’m a voracious reader, film obsessive and adventurous cook, and when I’m not jet setting, I call Los Angeles home.

Media

Every once in a while I wind up commenting on – or participating in – this, that or the other. Over the years I’ve been interviewed by The Insider, E! True Hollywood Story, Sex TV, Nightline, Sirius XM Radio, ABC News, The Globe and Mail, Marketing Magazine, Entertainment Weekly and many more. A smattering of these opportunities:
