Out of grad school, I worked as a tech writer for a while before going into computer coding for a living.

Reading is the last act of secular prayer.

I'd like, each time out as a writer, to reinvent who I am and what I'm doing. That's one of the great pleasures and rewards of the occupation.

I like to travel and connect.

Everything interests me.

Until I was 42, I could fit everything that I owned into two suitcases.

Only keep still, wait, and hear, and the world will open.
