I've spent my career trying to help people without connections understand what's going on so that they have a chance of getting a fair shake from the connected and the powerful. ↗

I wrote every day. I don't think I could have written 'Just Kids' had I not spent all of the 80s developing my craft as a writer. ↗

I've always spent more time with a smile on my face than not, but the thing is, I don't write about it. ↗
