Good news! My play “Good Things” has been selected as a finalist to be produced as part of Weathervane Playhouse’s 2017 8×10 TheatreFest. In “Good Things,” a son visits his father in the hospital to console him after a bad fall, and soon discovers the unintended consequences of this visit when his father helps him to move on from a recent setback of his own. Performances are scheduled for July 13 through July 16.
Fiction
“Seattle” is live now in the Summer 2017 issue of The East Bay Review. This is an excerpt from my recently completed novel. It comes at a point in the story where our protagonist begins to suspect that all is not how it seems with the corner office partner who has taken him under his wing. From there, everything slowly begins to unravel for him. Enjoy!

“Lentil Soup in Yiayia’s Kitchen” is out now in the Spring 2017 issue of Thread – an online literary publication, to quote the site, “featuring short personal essays … that illuminate moments of human experience by established and emerging writers.” This piece is adapted from my memoir, and describes a dream I had before waking up in the ICU after my first surgery – a dream so vivid it made me momentarily question what was actually real.
