![]() ![]() During what free time I had, I read more mysteries than was healthy. I’d left Seventeen to be home with my kids but continued to to do speeches and the occasional magazine piece. Three years later, Elizabeth (now a philosopher and writer) was born. We were married and a little more than a year later, we had Andrew (now a corporate lawyer). I did less of that when I met a wonderful guy, Elkan Abramowitz, then a federal prosecutor in the SDNY. So, first as a volunteer, then for actual money, I wrote political speeches in my spare time. I liked my job, but I found doing advice to the lovelorn and articles like “How to Write a Letter to a Boy” somewhat short of fulfilling. The guy at the employment agency looked at my resume and mumbled, “You wrote for your college paper? Uh, we have an opening at Seventeen magazine.” That’s how I became a writer. Since I had nothing else in mind, I took the test-and flunked. After leaving school, I saw one of those ads: BE A COMPUTER PROGRAMMER! Take our aptitude test. I was born in Brooklyn and educated at Queens College. I was born in a thatched cottage in the Cotswolds. ![]()
