The wonderfully rewarding magazine Tin House of Portland and New York has graciously accepted my short memoir piece (is there such a thing as flash memoir?) “Make A Muscle” for publication in their online version. You can read it here: Make A Muscle

Tin House is also nominating it for inclusion in #MemoirMondays, a newsletter that Narratively puts together with Granta, Longreads, Catapult, Guernica, and the Rumpus that lists all the best new memoir writing coming out each week from around the web. Fingers crossed on that.

On August 23, 2017, I venture into new territories–memoir and reading Spanish aloud in public–in familiar territory–my lovely friends at Flash Fiction Forum in San Jose. With many talented and entertaining readers, it’s always a fun night.

Castro Coop’s literary relay race-a reimagining of Bradbury called Farenheit 415–made the Litquake 2017 sizzle reel. So watch it and sizzle. I am reader No. 9 at the Fellow Barber reading.

Please join the Castro Coop for a reading of Fahrenheit 415 at Fellow Barber on Oct 15, 2016. I will be reading my 300 words along with other Coop members as we adapt the Ray Bradbury classic Fahrenheit 451 for San Francisco and our tremulous times.

I am excited to be reading at Flash Fiction Forum (https://www.facebook.com/flashfictionforum) on March 4. I will be reading a scene from Between Countries, my novel of espionage, romance and building—or trying to stop—an Indian atomic bomb in Bombay in the mid-1960s.
