She still writes for Style magazine, which is unperturbed by her ongoing political activism. She has written for the Urbanite and City Paper and for several years wrote book reviews and op-eds for the Baltimore Sun (until they stopped paying freelancers). She also writes for and edits TSA News. She’s a 1980 graduate of St. John’s College in Annapolis and received her M.A. from the The Writing Seminars at Johns Hopkins in 1997. She lives in Charles Village.
