This year marks the 50th anniversary of the riot aboard the USS KITTY HAWK which I depict in my new novel. Another sad milestone happening this year is that the ship, a one of a kind US non-nuclear carrier, is being scrapped for the grand price of a mere 1c. You can read about it at the link below. Thanks to J. Michael Lennon for sharing.

Had a great time at AWP 22 in Philly a few weeks ago. It was cool to be able to comingle with fellow writers and readerts. It's was also kind of cool to discover that my alma mater quoutes me on the school website!

I'm thankful for the love coming my way from local media.

 

I was interviewed by Amy Tan of the Oregonian newspaper in Portland, and by the hosts of the early morning show, "AM Extra,"on KOIN tv. I also did an interview with the hosts 0f "Black Book Talk," a show broadcasted by local public radio station KBOO. Later this month I will be discussing my novel at the local library where  much of the book was written.
