About the Author
The Prize
A woman won me in an auction. Allow me to explain.
This past summer I work shopped a new play I ve written at the New York Stage and Film festival at Vassar College. A wonderful experience for which I showed my appreciation by agreeing to be a prize in a silent auction they were having at their annual fundraiser. I d heard of this kind of thing from some of my very famous friends for whom star-struck donors generously bid tens of thousands of dollars to share a meal, play a round of golf or spend an afternoon on the set of a movie they re shooting. But me? A writer of modest renown who regards lunch as nothing more than a great time to figure out what I want to have for dinner? I found the thought of anyone voluntarily writing a check so they can spend time with me (as opposed to having lost a bet) intriguing. So after a mutually convenient time was determined, I left my Jersey home, got into my car, and drove to Manhattan to have a delicious lunch, compliments of the charity that sponsored this whole thing.
I arrived at the midtown restaurant where I met Enid Borden - a twenty-three year old woman who wants to be a writer.
