About Me:
I am interested in the conflict between different cultures, identity, and what James Joyce called the “epiphany” story wherein the main character or the audience, perhaps both, learns something new, usually at the end.
I hope to tell stories, those that verge on the confessional and some that stem from history, news, art, other people, and the everyday.
So far, my greatest accomplishment has been receiving a kind, though brief, rejection letter from The New Yorker. (My reaction: SCORE! Not a form rejection! Where is the champagne?) The story that I submitted was subsequently ripped apart and defecated on by a room of MFA students two years later. To be honest, the story deserved that and more though my tender heart could not and did not take it so well. My only publication is a research paper on nano-fibrous scaffolds in the Journal of Neural Engineering.
Please take a look at the journal and the travel section.
