Dreamers become writers, and for me, being a published writer is a dream come true.

For my books of nonfiction I write about subjects I find fascinating. I've been a Yankees and a Lou Gehrig fan for decades, so I wrote 'Lou Gehrig: The Luckiest Man.' It's more the story of his great courage than of his baseball playing. Children face all sorts of challenges, and it's my hope that some will be inspired by the courage of Lou Gehrig.

I write both fiction and nonfiction. I begin my fiction with the main character. The story comes later.
