Most of my nonfiction is about Playback Theatre, in which personal stories are told by audience members and enacted during a performance. I’ve published two books as well as articles and chapters in edited collections. My first book, Improvising Real Life: Personal Story in Playback Theatre, has been in print for 18 years. Translations have been published in Germany, Japan, Brazil, Uruguay, Taiwan, Russia, and Israel.

My short stories, set in New Zealand, the US, and other countries, grow out of a memory, a chance remark, a glimpse of another life, a discovery, an encounter. My story “Antarctica” won first place in the 2008 Pen & Brush prose contest. "The Very Large Array" was the second place winner in the 2010 Hudson Valley Writers Guild short fiction contest. Two other stories have been shortlisted for the Edelstein prize. Four stories have been published in print and online literary journals.

Other published work includes personal essays, articles and chapters about music therapy, and a bilingual collection of stories told by immigrants, which I edited.

I’ve served as editor and publisher for several memoirs or collections by friends and relatives, shepherding their work through the process of writing, editing, book design, and printing. I am now offering this service to others. It's called Book of Your Dreams.

This site lists my publications with links to published (and a few unpublished) articles, chapters, keynote addresses, short stories, and excerpts from books.
