I've published 30 books. I edit Extra Innings, an online newsletter for writers, having for 20 years edited a print publication for writers called Creativity Connection. I've published articles and short stories in hundreds of regional and national magazines, and I'm a columnist for The Writer's Magazette, an online magazine for writers. I teach in the Odyssey Project for the University of Wisconsin- Madison.
I hold a BA in creative writing and an MA in communications from Stanford University. I've been married to the former Ellen Malloy since 1968, and we have one son, Jeremiah, who is married to the former Kimberly Zunker. When not writing or teaching, I like to read, exercise, play the piano, draw cartoons, listen to old time radio shows, and talk back to the television (not all at the same time). I'm a passionate baseball fan, drive the back roads (often taking the longest distance between two points, and eat in small town cafes.

While an entertaining book, it is somewhat hard to read because it is not well organized chronologically. Could have been a lot better.
