I am a journalist, with features in TheNew York Times, Guardian, Smithsonian Magazine, Los Angeles Times and Sunset — among other outlets. (There’s a mix of my work gathered together at the Articles section of this site.)

My book Oldest San Francisco, came out in 2024 (from Reedy Press). It’s a collection of (true) tales of this city, about the assorted institutions that have made San Francisco San Francisco. This is the book’s site.

My novel, Until It Shimmers, was published in 2022 (by Ace of Swords). On the strength of it, I won a Canada Council for the Arts award. Marjan Kamali, the award-winning author of Lion Women of Tehran, calls it “an atmospheric and immersive debut.” Christopher Castellani, the author of Leading Men, says it’s “compelling and transporting.” This is the take from the Kirkus Reviews. I am currently working on another book.
