I prefer the essay--personal, opinion, political, or otherwise--though I’ve published more heavily in popular nonfiction: features, reviews, profiles, and local stories. This site shows some of my published writing over the last two decades--some of it literary, some historical, some personal. Thanks for taking a look.

It is a collection of 18 personal essays. All proceeds from the book will benefit “Literature for a Cause,” which provides literature for underfunded schools abroad, this year in Southeast Asia.
