ABOUT
My writing career started in 1997 just before I graduated from
UC Berkeley. Since then, my short
stories have been widely published and anthologized. My essays, travel writing and
criticism have appeared in a variety of small press publications and
independent magazines. I was a general assignment journalist for a daily
paper and freelanced as a trade-press writer, illustrator and web designer. Now
I’m working on a novel. I live in Oakland,
California, where I earn my
living as a professional in association communications and public affairs. Learn
more about me by following my
blog.
