about me

Yes, I have a book on Authonomy and you can find it here: http://www.bit.ly/Shicaine

You don't see it because it is a co-authored work, which Authonomy can't do. Now that we've gotten that out of the way . . . :)

I am the co-author of the series, "The Chronicles of the Myst-Clipper Shicaine" with Kerry Forrestal, the first several chapters of which are available here on Authonomy.

This series, is the second of our collaborations, the first being a play entitled, "Club Hell."

By day, I am the Associate Director of Career Services at Ithaca College and a part-time lecturer in the Business School. I love working in education and career development in particular, because there is nothing quite like helping someone figure out their passions and then guiding them towards achieving them. I believe it's important to be active in ones profession and so, I currently serve as the President-elect of the Eastern Association of Colleges and Employers.

Outside of my writing and my job, I am active in the arts as a songwriter/musician (www.loosechangemusic.com, www.thebudbrothers.com) and most recently as a member of the Wing Space Theatre Company and the Left Wings Improv Troupe. In my "spare" time, I am an experimental film artist and have been very fortunate to have had my works exhibited at the national level.

I am blessed to be married to a talented dancer, dance educator, singer and actress, Dr. Nancy Kane and we, along with our 6 cats, lead a very full and happy life.
