I grew up in the Mission District of San Francisco. I've worked in theatre and had a play, "Letters From Rebecca," broadcast by NPR's Playhouse. I have published numerous plays and articles and an Irish American memoir called "Confessions of a Shanty Irishman." I have two books out since, including a thriller called Byron.
