In fiction writing, I would say there are several different strands that have been woven through my own writing, and each influenced by a different group of writers.

Writers read essays and serious thinkers and serious readers... that is a small population.

Who would fare better in this world of fitful time? Those who have seen the future and live only one life? Or those who have not seen the future and wait to live life? Or those who deny the future and live two lives?

I have always loved magic realism as a form of writing. I have also been fascinated for a long time with the intersection of science and religion.

If I were not a writer, I would spend more time doing the things that I am already doing, which include doing research in physics, teaching, and running a nonprofit organization with a mission to empower women in Cambodia.

Faith is the ability to honor stillness at some moments, and at others to ride the passion and exuberance.

All writers have roots they draw from - travel, work, family. My roots are in science and it is fertile ground for fiction.
