He is the author of two novels: "Consider This Home" (Simon and Schuster) and "Fearful Symmetry" (Dutton/Penguin). "Consider This Home" was well-reviewed: playwright Tony Kushner called it a "wonderful, exciting novel…fierce, funny, smart, observant, and at times, very sexy,"and novelist Antonya Nelson in the Los Angeles Times said that the main character was "one of the most memorable consciousnesses I've had the pleasure to inhabit in recent fiction." The book was a Literary Guild alternate selection and was published in England by Marion Boyars. "Fearful Symmetry" was also well-received and appeared in trade paperback from Plume.
