I'm a professional writer with 10 books to my name, one best seller--a biography of Johannes Kepler entitled Kepler's Witch, a biography of Blaise Pascal, entitled Pascal's Wager (I wanted The Man Who Played Dice with God), and a biography of Michelangelo, focusing on his Sistine Chapel fresco The Last Judgment. The rest is mostly history, fiction, and poetry, with a book of prayers and one of parables. I taught writing at Kean University in New Jersey and at summer seminars in Prague. Additionally, I participated in a biography seminar at New York University.
