I am an English freelance writer living in New York City. My focus is on food and travel, with occasional forays into design, video games and pretty much whatever I find interesting. My work has appeared in the New York Times, New York Magazine, GQ, Premiere, Gourmet and Food & Wine, among others; in 2003 I joined the masthead at Martha Stewart Living in a contributing editor position.
I am a career forensic pathologist, a Senior Medical Examiner in the Office of the Chief Medical Examiner in Manhattan, and a clinical assistant professor at New York University School of Medicine.
I've recently finished my first novel, Precious Blood. A fairly violent forensic thriller set in New York City in the Post-9/11 era, Precious Blood will be published by HarperCollins in Autumn 2007. I am now working on its sequel, A Hard Death.
