After 25 years at the Bay Area’s Mercury News and East Bay Times, first as a reporter and then a senior features editor, I’ve gone rogue. And now that the confetti has settled a bit, I’m back with my first love — writing.
We’re going to need more confetti!
Curious about my recent projects? Take a peek at some of them here, as well as the very cool magazine below. Bookish was one of the 30+ magazine projects I oversaw at the Times and Merc. It’s a celebration of some of my favorite things, from books and authors to literary-adjacent fun. Enjoy!
