after he became managing editor of
the student newspaper.
Married to fellow journalism stu-
dent Margaret Cronin, Fisk worked at
the Free Press before the couple decid-
ed to move to New York City. With
the idea that they both wanted to
write novels, they worked on one
together while accepting freelance
assignments from magazines and
tabloids to pay their expenses.
Paradise Rehearsal Club, about a
1920s casino, was published by Simon
and Schuster and brought national
attention, including an appearance on
the Today show.
'After the book was published, I got
an editing job at the New York Times,"
Fisk says. "I was only the second per-
son from Wayne State to get a job on
the paper and worketi.there for seven
years. I had a good time and still am .o
subscriber. It hurts me to see wlt has
happened with the problems of fidagia-
rism."
After the couple started a family,
they decided to return to Detroit in
1988 to be close to parents and sib-
lings, who would get to know their
daughters, Elizabeth and Angelina.
Fisk got a job as assistant city editor at
the Detroit News and left as arts and
entertainment editor.
As he belatedly works on his second
novel, which is about the Holocaust,
Fisk freelances for local publications,
such as the News and Hour magazine,
and teaches journalism at Oakland
University. His wife is a reporter for
Bloomberg Media.
"I like to ride horses and watch
them at a racetrack," says Fisk, a
member of the Grosse Pointe Jewish
Council whose equestrian hobby
began when he was a teen. "Every
summer, we go to a resort where I can
ride, and every anniversary, 32 now,
we go to the track.
"If you're going to write fiction, you
have to have that gambling instinct, I
think. It's such a long shot that you
can write a book, and it's a longer shot
that you can get it published. It's a
much longer shot that anybody is
going to want to read it, and it's even
a much longer shot that money will be
made on it." El
