Who am I? I’m a scandalous creative nonfiction writer focusing on travel, music, food, sex, and loss in our ever-changing world. My first book, For Better And Worse: Short Stories and Tantalizing TalesFrom Coast to Coast, was published in 2016. My stories recently appear in Still Point Arts QuarterlyDorothy Parker’s Ashes, “I DO” Wedding Guide 2023, The Music Museum of New England, The Hosmer Gallery at Forbes Library, and forthcoming in The Long Hauler Covid Anthology. My “Open Letter to Anthony Bourdain” was featured in The Valley Love Letters Project: Live on Stage at the Academy of Music and is published in WayWords Literary Journal. 

Currently I’m working on my second book, a collection of essays written during the pandemic after surviving a medically induced coma at the height of Covid-19. 

I’m glad you’re here!

Cheers,

Jess
