Randy Mason

Randy Mason grew up in New York City, where she has lived most of her life. A teenager during the turbulent 1970s, she would escape her own demons by immersing herself in school, music, art, and alternate worlds. While seeking a career as a rock musician and songwriter, she held a variety of jobs. But when she was in her late forties, she returned to graduate school and became a psychoanalytic psychotherapist to help others as she herself had been helped. An avid martial artist for many years, she earned two black belts during the course of her training. Most recently, she took up photography. One of her greatest regrets is not pursuing her love of physics. Falling Back to One is her first book.

A note about the music lyrics included in Falling Back to One: At some point after Ms. Mason gave her final music performance in 2003, she decided, while in the process of self-editing her manuscript, to include the lyrics from two of her songs: "Night" (which was on her 1998 CD "Halfway, through Night") and "The River Runs" (originally recorded in 1991 but mastered in 2017 and then released as a digital single). Recordings of both are available on Amazon.
