han in New York (where we still keep an apartment)working as a freelance editor and ghostwriter of health books. I have edited celebrities like Steve Allen, Soupy Sales, and Lindsay Wagner, but I mostly edit self-help books and cookbooks.

I'm even a published author, having written THE COMPLETE IDIOT'S GUIDE TO HORSES with my friend Sarah Montague.
