My real job is writing books - 13 novels of romantic comedy ("Name Dropping," "An Ex to Grind" and "Some Nerve," to list a few). But my passion is the Yankees and always has been. During the first half of the 2007 season I was so upset when they landed in last place that I wrote an article for the New York Times announcing that I was divorcing the team. I was trying to put a humorous spin on my frustration, but I got tons of mail from people who accused me of being a bandwagon fan. To prove them wrong, I got on a plane and followed the Yanks to every game in every city for the second half of the season, only to discover that I had become obsessed with winning and had lost the joy of baseball. The result of all the lessons learned is my first nonfiction book, "Confessions of a She-Fan: The Course of True Love with the New York Yankees." The trip was the experience of a lifetime (my husband came along with me and the book is also about balancing my love for him with my love for 25 men in pinstripes). I'm really excited to have this blog where I can talk about the Yankees with anybody who will listen. I grew up in NY but live in CA now. It's beautiful out here, but it's no fun being surrounded by Dodgers and Angels fans, trust me.

Writing, watching Yankees games, going to movies, reading books, walking on the beach, laughing a lot.
