About Douglas Alan Weiss

Doug Weiss lives in the Tidewater region of Virginia in a charming but aging beach cottage occupied by hundreds of spirits that inhabit his bookshelves and a cat who does not live there but appears irregularly with proprietary demands for chunky peanut butter and the occasional saucer of milk. Doug has spent much of his life in radio and television as a producer, a senior executive in public media, and as a producer of internet content. He was responsible for web development for one of the country's leading consumer facing web sites and has studied social media and the use of online media in fostering relationship for over two decades. Doug's writing career began in college with a poetry scholarship to the prestigious Aspen' Writer's Workshop and has since included several works on technology, psychology and love. When he is not writing-he can usually be found hiking, sailing or sitting on the beach- book in hand and a glass of wine nearby.
