Writing

A writer, first.

It turns out that no matter what else I do, writing is something I have to do. Here's an introduction to what's come of it.

The books

Two novels

Seeking representation

Literary fiction

The Mayor of Bleecker Street

What's Next

Narrated by the AI that a burned-out marketer names Clark, the novel follows two unlikely companions: a man who dreams of more, and the machine that can describe a sunset but never feel its warmth. It's a story about authenticity, connection, and what it means to be real in an age of artificial everything.
