Bio
Life is BORING! A year out of college, and I was drowning in self pity. Jobs suck! Then, a week before I was set to go to Tunisia (which is in Africa, I discovered) I landed instead on the copy desk of the Easton (PA) Express, my hometown paper. Not boring! In fact, as I watched the presses roll that day -- I am not making this up --I KNEW: This is what I want to do for the rest of my life. Incredibly, I almost got my wish. For 30 years, I moved from small newspapers to larger ones, the East Coast to the West, overseas, to a little yellow house with a husband and two children, and then to a national women's magazine.
But I never saw that iceberg, never imagined my ship would sink. Fast. Deep. What's next? That's what I write about now. Spoiler alert: The journey detours into ketamine treatment for depression as dark and dangerous as a bat cave.
