• Reflections on my first radio interview

    Last Updated: I had my first radio interview last week on a local station, KOOP 91.7 FM, on a show called Writing on the Air. These are some of my reflections: My wife listened to the interview that evening while I walked Logan. When I came back, she told me, with a big smile on her face, that she…

  • Where writing takes you

    Every book and story I write starts with a simple idea, a little jolt of energy that makes me scratch my chin and go: “Huh,” or toss and turn in bed until I jot it down. I usually begin writing immediately before the initial spark fades away and make sense of symbolism and themes in…

    Backpacking in Norway

    Naturally, I had to make things just a little more complicated than packing our bags and showing up at the airport.
