  <about><![CDATA[I grew up in Cincinnati, went to college in Philadelphia, and also lived in Taipei and Edinburgh along the way.  I've lived in Boston since 1991.

I became a professional writer in 2000, writing about my late wife Kirsten's breast cancer diagnosis and treatment. Kirsten died in 2003, leaving me and our daughter Rowen.  I married Suzanne in 2005 and got her kids Casey and Kylie in the deal too.  Bargain! Suzanne and I live with our three kids and dog in the shadow of Franklin Park in Jamaica Plain, best neighborhood on earth.]]></about>        <born_at>11/01/1968</born_at>
