Greetings and welcome to my world...
Or the part you have to search the Net for, anyway. I am a San Francisco-based writer and this web site is my electronic calling card. On these pages you will find links to my recent stories, both printed and spoken on public radio; a page of books I’ve written and anthologies that contain my essays; something akin to a blog that is really more a series of mini personal essays for all six of my loyal and adoring fans; a link to a separate web site devoted entirely to my new book Office Mate; and my bio. All the usual stuff you find on the typical writer's Web site. Thank you for visiting. You know how piteous writers are in their attention-seeking behaviors. I'm glad I'm not like that.
Want an email whenever I update the nonBlog?
