Welcome. If you’ve found this website it’s likely you are either the victim of an exceedingly elaborate typo, or you have wondered in the dark hours: Who is Dara Moskowitz?

Is she a restaurant and wine critic with far too many opinions on vodka, chickens, ice-cream, wasabi foam, boneset honey, and diner-cars made from corn silos? Certainly. But she’s also been working on a novel for lo the last six years, and occasionally pops up here and there as Dara Anastasia Moskowitz. Wait -- she’s not that nut wanted for cattle rustling in Arkansas?

Okay. Hold your horses. I wasn’t even in Arkansas that week. And that’s, roughly, the point of this website, to provide a public holding-pen to add actual information about Dara, the fiction writer to the already rich internet life of Dara, food and wine writer. This website won’t be a blog, and won’t offer information about restaurants or wine. It will be a place to get information about my fiction, and God willing, if I ever get my goddamn book done, it will be a place to get information about books, book tours, and such. Until then, though, it’s just me. And a chapter or two, a short story or two, stuff like that. So -- thanks for coming by! You various anonymous readers have been family to me over the years, I’d quite literally be nowhere without all of the little supportive notes and e-mails you’ve sent my way, and I’m really looking forward to adding your thoughts, feedback, and presence to the rest of my writing life.

All good things,
-Dara
