I create witty, readable books and articles about business and technology. Some are for average readers, others are for experts, and all are designed to help harried readers make sense of complicated subjects. You can use this Web site to see clips, learn more about my books, check out my speaking events, or kill time.

My latest book is Socially Responsible Investing for Dummies. It's your guide to managing money and values, no matter what social, responsible, religious, or environmental principles matter most.Here's a list of six social investments to consider right now.

Writing is my second career, after spending twelve years in financial analysis (MBA, CFA, the whole bit). Editors of national, trade, and in-house publications like my thorough research and deep understanding of business subjects. They also appreciate my ability to write to word count and hit deadlines. Some even enjoy my snappy, sardonic style.

I blog about economics and financial for Popdose, and I sometimes post on my books' Amazon pages.
