You Found Me

“Each friend represents a world in us, a world possibly not born until they arrive, and it is only by this meeting that a new world is born.” -Anaïs Nin

I’m glad you’re here. Take a sec and introduce yourself, if you’d like. Because not every conversation can start in the Costco food court. Although many do. I’ve had a few there myself.

My latest: I’ve somehow ventured into humor. Here’s a piece called Bigheaded People Want the Medical Recognition They Deserve, published over at Points in Case in April, and soon I’ll have a link to post from an upcoming piece at McSweeney’s. 

This December piece in the Seattle Times on introvert-friendly office spaces was one of my faves to write. And there’s this essay for the New York Times on growing up with a mother who had an undiagnosed mental illness.

Book stuff: I’ve completed a manuscript titled “Jump: A Memoir About Skating and Survival,” and am working on a novel about an American photojournalist in South Africa during the Mandela elections (cause hey, I was a Canadian development worker in South Africa during the Mandela elections).
