The books
My novels and short stories draw on history, politics, and the enduring unpredictability of reach-exceeds-grasp. My territory: desperate people navigating difficult times. Plus humor. Because sometimes ya gotta laugh at life. (Wow, does that sound pretentious. Sorry. Yet one more reason I don't write about myself in my books.)
