Liparulo, Robert

I've been writing since before I could drive. Short stories, investigative exposes, celebrity profiles, editorials, business columns, radio dramas, screenplays--you name it. One story illustrates how young I was when I started: I was in the green room backstage to interview Bruce Springsteen. He came in, said hi, and sat opposite me. I was accustomed to letting the interviewee get things started, so we made small talk for a while. Finally, he looked at his watch, back at the door, and said, "Will your father be in soon to start the interview?" It's been a long time since anyone could mistake me for a youth tagging along with his father.
