What is Humor Saves!

I am very bad at writing these faux-dating-LinkedIn-ABOUT sections. I made a manifesto instead:

What to expect…

Regular pieces of conversational writing with a humorous slant.

Who am I?

I am a GenX-er, compulsive observer, and chronic overthinker–a cigar is never just a cigar, sorry Freud! I’m a proud, salty New Englandahh, and photographahhh.

And yadda yadda yadda…

I’m also the author of Boston and Beyond: Discovering Cities, Harbors, and Country Charms (Globe Pequot; out now! yay!); Book Lover’s New England: A Guide to Literary Landmarks (Globe Pequot; slated for pub 2026), and The League of Extraordinarily Funny Women: 50 Trailblazers of Comedy (Running Press, avail where all books are sold). I am represented by Full Circle Literary.

Some other publishing credits include The Belladonna Comedy, The Huffington Post, and Maria Shriver. I’m also a regular writer for Medium’s FanFare publication. I have contributed on-air to the nationally syndicated podcasts Backstory with the History Guys; Trailblazers with Walter Isaacson; Bright Young Things book podcast; and have been featured on radio as a guest of Chicago’s WGN Bill Leff & Wendy Snyder Show.

Enjoy and thank you for hanging out and being a part of this gang.

Appreciate you.
