You might be interested in my unusual entry into the writing world. When Ann Landers left her home based newspaper, The Chicago Sun-Times created a nationwide contest to replace her. I was chosen as one of the finalists from more than 11,000 contestants.

“My mother giving advice is like the Cookie Monster being paid to eat cookies; she’s a natural!” That was Glenn’s response to Bill Geist, the New York Times reporter, when Bill asked him what he thought of his mom becoming the next “Ann Landers.”

No, I didn’t replace Ann Landers but the contest did launch my writing and media career. Those were heady days with a photo op for People magazine, a lead story in the New York Times and a host of radio and print interviews.

Since then, I’ve appeared on The Today Show and Good Morning America. I’ve lectured at the Smithsonian Institution and at the American Psychological Association.

I’ve been interviewed by hundreds of magazines and newspapers, including The New York Times, USA Today, Newsday, The Washington Post, Psychology Today, Men’s Health, Self, Prevention, WedMD.com and many other print and on-line publications.
