Stacy Horn grew up on Long Island, got a B.F.A. from Tufts University and the School of the Museum of Fine Arts, and a graduate degree from the Interactive Telecommunications Program at NYU. She was once a telecommunications analyst for the Mobil Corporation.
She is a writer and just finished her seventh book titled The Killing Fields of East New York: The First Subprime Mortgage Scandal, a White-Collar Crime Spree, and the Collapse of an American Neighborhood. The book is scheduled to be released in January of 2025.
In 1990 she founded a New York City-based online service (aka social network) called Echo. Echo is an online community filled with people who log in everyday to talk about whatever—work, love, how hard life can be, and what’s on TV (my favorite obsession). Horn stopped doing anything to promote Echo years ago, but is glad it’s managed to survive. In between writing and research, TV, and the occasional movie or book, she loves talking to people on Echo.
In her spare time, Horn sings with the Choral Society of Grace Church, and drums in a band called Manhattan Samba (but only very rarely these days). And, enjoys raising and spending time with her pet cats.
