Who I am

A Writer’s Jottings shares ideas, insights, and information about writing from my four decades as a journalist, biographer, and memoirist. It reflects on the pleasures and perils of the writing life and, at times also illuminates the ways artists live and work. More information about my life as a writer is on my website.
