Bio
My writing interests include but are not limited to: education, parenting, food, Internet topics, Web community-building, corporate profiles, telecommuting, women in computing, educational software, baseball, and translation software. For book projects, I'm represented by agent Michael Psaltis. Drop me a line at ecrane [ at symbol ] well.com.
As I've done every summer since 1994, I work at the Ferry Plaza Farmers Market. If you're in San Francisco on a summer Saturday, stop by Fitzgerald's peach stand and sample the fruit. If you can't make it to the Market, check out the Peach Page for a taste of the farm. You'll find selections from my stone fruit recipe collection there as well. You can also read what SF Chronicle columnists Jon Carroll wrote about our beloved peach stand (that's me, correcting his Eliot).
