I’m a classics kind of girl. I’ve had the same eight favorite authors since I was 18.

Topics include Nick Drake, the hunt for a missing autistic child, the morning-after pill, nannies, homeless teens in Boystown, teevee preachers, where i write and more!

Topics include education, how reported rapes are (mis)handled in DC, reality TV, psychosis, mansplaining, TED, hate crimes and so many other things!

Topics include the Norway shooting, Nadia Comaneci, R.L Stine, Haruki Murakami, Gloria Allred, welfare-to-work programs, death row, eating disorders & Saved By the Bell!

“And so while I would have loved to have done what Laura did, to go to New York and try to find myself, I did the more conventional thing, and I think I was not alone in that.”

If you like lesbian history as much as I do, then you’ll love all these books about queer life in various towns, states, cities and countries. Your input is welcome!

“Yeah, but don’t you think that… that if you write minutely and rigorously enough about your own life… you can, you know, transcend your particular self?”

Emma McLaughlin & Nicola Kraus (“The Nanny Diaries”) re-imagine the story of how Britney Spears ended up under her father’s permanent legal control in their new novel.
