My latest book will be coming out in 2024 by Johns Hopkins University Press. My previous book, "The Education of a Coroner: Lessons in Investigating Death" (Scribner), has been published in multiple languages, and the Polish edition was nominated for the 2019 Best Nonfiction Book of the Year Award in that country. It was preceded by "The Last and Greatest Battle" (Oxford University Press), "The Final Leap" (University of California Press), and "Building Hope" (Prager Press). Currently, a debut novel I wrote is being shopped by a literary agent.
For 16 years I was executive director of a nationally-certified crisis center in the San Francisco Bay Area. I also have been executive director of three university-run counseling centers and assistant director of a two-county social service agency. Earlier in my career I was a book reviewer for the San Francisco Chronicle and other publications.
