- Bio
- My Season 5 "Mad Men" commentary is on Salon.com rather than here (see my last blog post). *****My e-book, "Mad Men Unmasked: Decoding Season 4," is now available on Amazon! ***** I'm a writer/editor/consultant who lives in the SF Bay Area. I write about all kinds of things, but am particularly intrigued by movies, relationships, gender issues and "Mad Men." (Scroll down the left sidebar for links to what I've published elsewhere as well as a selection of my blog posts.) I'm writing a novel about religious and romantic obsession and have completed a memoir, "Seeking," about my (successful) quest for love, which included personal ad dates with 200 men.
