Ex-pat writer (sounds like such a cliché!) living in Madrid for the past half-decade. I write for a living, all sorts of things: mostly fiction, lately a lot of children's books--writing in both Spanish and English--but in my checkered literary past there are all sorts of oddities, like a gay and lesbian cookbook, 15 astrology titles, a biography of tennis players Venus & Serena Williams, etc. I am also a translator from Spanish into English: children's books, film scripts, the promotional magazine for a Spanish bodega, a series of pamphlets to accompany 70 model trains to be sold in weekly installments via kiosks in the UK...

Before leaving NYC I was the co-chair of the Publishing Triangle for two years. I also am a former bookseller at Books of Wonder. For five years, I served as the Spain Regional Advisor for the Society of Children's Book Writers and Illustrators.

Llevo más de 1o años viviendo en Madrid. Soy escritor, en muchos distintos registros y géneros, incluyendo el comic, libros infantiles, narativa, poesia, erotica, ciencia ficción, etc.
