About the Author
My new novel, Club Rules, just came out. It explores the inter-connected lives of several couples in a wealthy suburban town. One reader described it as Gatsby-esque--of course, that reader is my wife, so she is not an entirely trustworthy source.I have an M.A. and a Ph.D. in American history and an M.A. in English literature. I taught for several years at a number of colleges and universities. And I have written about a wide array of subjects ranging from the founding fathers to a novel about elite private high schools. My last book, Decoding Love, explored the latest scientific research on human attraction--everything from the role that smell plays in attraction to the dollar value economists place on a good marriage. It has led to a number of appearance on The Tyra Show and the Today Show.
