Teaching: Novella & Short Story Writing Master Class:
Course Description: Whether you’re a beginner or an advanced writer, the challenge in this course will be to hone your skills for writing a novella and/or a short story, from brainstorming to writing to editing. This will be done through discussions of character, voice, point of view, structure and other craft elements. We will comment on the pieces you hand-in as well as on in-class writing exercises. We will study two published short stories, one by William Trevor and another by Alice Munro. The aim is to get your story to the point that it is as good as it can be.–

Crowd of Sorrows, a novella

Writing this novella was a real challenge, since the setting of it is Cambridge, MA, rather than a foreign country as my other books are. But the setting is a familiar one; I actually lived in the townhouse I describe in the novella for five years and some of the characters are loosely based on people I met there. Here is the novella, on Kindle Singles: . http://www.amazon.com/Crowd-Sorrows-K...

"One of New England’s most elegant communities, Edgartown (Martha's Vineyard) was the Island’s first colonial settlement and it has been the county seat since 1642. Main Street in Edgartown is a picture-book setting with its harbor and waterfront. The tall square-rigged ships that sailed all the world’s oceans have passed from the Edgartown scene, but the heritage of those vessels and their captains has continued."
