I find solace and challenge in a journalism professor's
two mottos:
* Nothing is lost; it's only misplaced.
* Ink never dries.
I recently completed a novel, Echo's Version, the story of a
man hit by a bus in New York who suffers amnesia and
travels to California to find his long-lost sister.
My short story "Nonfinito" is forthcoming in "The Long
Meanwhile: Stories of Coming and Going," a literary
anthology (Hourglass Books).
Between contractual obligations, I am at work on a new
novel, West of the Equator, which focuses on the
family of a husband and father who loses his thumbs in an
assault. Interests: Memory, Jazz, Cultural Anthropology
