Have been on about 20 podcasts talking about PARADISE UNDONE: A NOVEL OF JONESTOWN, published 2023 on the 45th anniversary of the massacre in the UK by Inkspot Publishing. Currently working on a book of stories for the 50th anniversary in 2028 of Jonestown-adjacent characters: a lawyer, a journalist, a child in Los Angeles waiting to go to Guyana with her mom and grandma when the disaster happened, and more. Prior books: Put Off My Sackcloth: Essays (The Humble Essayist Press, 2021) Anatomie of the World: Poems (Finishing Line Press 2017) And Darkness Was Under His Feet: Stories of a Family (Litchfield Review Press 2008) Lily in the Desert: Stories (Carnegie-Mellon University Press, 2001) York Ferry: A Novel (Cane Hill Press, 1993).
