About

My books include fiction (novels and short fiction); nonfiction (memoir and writing about the ocean and South Pacific); and collections of the epigrammatic.
I've also collaborated on books with photographers Wayne Levin, Nacio Jan Brown, and Michael Mathers, and on a screenplay published as The Two-Body Problem with co-author Edward Frenkel.
