Well, you don't want a complete autobiography --
but here are a few facts beyond those already mentioned in other sections.
I've had a lot of formal education:
a Ph.D. in anthropology from U.C. Berkeley,
an M.P.H. and M.S. from the Harvard School of Public Health.
Although I've been writing and sharing what I write with others
for as long as I can remember, I didn't start trying
to publish commercially until 1984.
I've had a lot of other jobs --
at various times I've worked as a maid at Yosemite,
as a clerk at an automobile agency, as an archeologist,
and as a evaluator of programs at a mental health center.
I've reorganized the administration of an orthodox yeshiva
and a university career counselling center.
I helped a physician specializing in hypnotherapy develop a line of tapes.
I enjoyed every job,
but have never found anything I love as much as I love writing (except
being a mom).

It's lucky that writing is such a portable career -- it lets me
travel with Larry. I think we lead a charmed life: both of us working at
what we enjoy doing most, and having the chance to explore places and make
friends all around the globe.
