I love the dignity in the name Philadelphia, but at heart, we're Philly.

I love everything about Philadelphia, and its food is like the city itself: real-deal, hearty, and without pretension. We've always had an underdog vibe as a city, but that just makes us try harder, and I love our scrappiness and scruffiness.

I love writing both fiction and memoir. Both have unique challenges; bottom line, fiction is hard because you have to come up with the credible, twisty plot, and memoir is hard because you have to say something true and profound, albeit in a funny way.

I am really, I think, truly an easygoing, positive, fun person.

Then love knew it was called love.
And when I lifted my eyes to your name,
suddenly your heart showed me my way

Do not measure a relationship by your hearts desires, but only what you perceive through vision alone.
