Biography and Education: I received most of my education traveling and working various inane jobs such as: clothing designer, racehorse hot walker, drug dealer, go-go dancer, undergroung film acrtess (otherwise known as independant feature actress), theater actress, playwright, theater director, performance artist, house claner, fish packer, credit clerk, barmaid, sailor, high seas cook, film script doctor, herbal therapist, unwed welfare mother, film extra, leg model, watercolorist, and briefly as a barmitzvah entertainer, although I'm not even Jewish.
I started writing when I was six and have never stopped completely. I wrote a novel when I was twelve and put it in cardboard and Saran Wrap, took it to the library and put it on the shelves in the correct alphabetical order. When I was eighteen I left college for Haight-Ashbry and wound up a drug casualty, not unlike a bag lady. I learned a lot in the mental hospital, where I had shock therapy that didn't work except for eradicating from my memory all the contents from novels I had read in the past twelve years.
A few of the films I appeared in have attained a cult status and I am told that I have a fan club in Los Angeles.
I have a twelve year old son, who I believe has taught me the most.
I used to write poetry, but I now feel that poetry is archic unless written specifically as song lyrics. I believe that my short stories are novels for people with short attention spans.
I live with my son in Manhattan and pay the rent as a journalist.
