"Finch," originally published in the Hudson Review, was a Distinguished Story in Best American Mystery Stories 2020 and was nominated for a Pushcart Prize. "Einhorn's Kosher Palace" also appeared in the Hudson Review and was nominated for a Pushcart. "Monster Case" appeared in the December 2023 issue of Mystery Magazine. THE MONEY, my debut novel, was Best Thrillers Book of the Year 2021. Critics compared THE MONEY to the works of Walter Mosely, Raymond Chandler, the movie Chinatown, and Better Call Saul. Essays and short stories have appeared in Film Comment; Columbia, A Journal of Literature and Art; New York Stories; Runner's Gazette; Art-Mag; Lowestoft Chronicle, Pembroke Review, among others. My work has been anthologized in Intrepid Traverlers, and A Place to Pause. I've been honored and thrilled to have taught my short stories at HOSTOS College and NYC high schools for The Hudson Review's Writers In The Schools program.
