I have published three novels, The River Gods, I Know Many Songs, But I Cannot Sing, Still Life with Insects, and two books of fiction exercises, The 3 AM Epiphany and The 4 AM Breakthrough. In the fall of 2025 Astrophil Press will publish my novel, Jack & Emily, set in Greece and Egypt in the late 1980s, about love and the CIA, with cameos by the Iranian Revolutionary Guard and a low-level al-Qaeda operative. I have received Whiting, Guggenheim, and NEA writing fellowships as well as residencies at the MacDowell Colony, Millay, and Yaddo. I taught at the University of Denver, Ohio University, the American University in Cairo, and The City College of New York.

Here is an essay, by Steve Himmer, about me—in Necessary Fiction, and some Goodreads reviews of my work.

And this is one of my favorite stories, from Esquire.
