Before writing A Field of Darkness, most of my day jobs were gigs at small newspapers around the country, including The Oyster Bay Guardian, The Syracuse New Times, and The Boulder Weekly. I've done articles on everything from hot wings to hot tubs, Olympic skiers, vintage stoves, the Madonna Inn, families coping with autism, and the brand of Haitian rum traditionally considered your best bet for home-voodoo-altar offerings to appease the various "loa"—not least Baron Samedi.
