Tennis. Nonsense.

**Most of the articles below are tennis-related. However I do write “Private Practice” recaps for Season 6, which can be found here.

Book

I wrote a historical fiction novel, “Titanic: The Tennis Story”, based on the true story of the two hall-of-fame tennis players who survived the Titanic and played each other in the U.S. Open 2 years later. You can purchase that HERE.

The Changeover:

In October of 2012 I co-founded and launched a tennis website, “The Changeover.” The site focuses on contemporary and personal writing and strives to find innovative new ways to tell tennis stories. You can read all of my articles from the site here, and I have included a few of my favorite posts below:
