He also produced a weekly column on horse racing for more than a decade, and for eleven years wrote a monthly column on... purebred collies, which he and his wife bred and exhibited. His wife Carol is also a writer, as is his daughter, Laura Resnick, who is an award-winning science fiction and fantasy author.
