About Me

I live in Northern California and have published most recently in Kweli Journal, The Puritan, Summerset Review, and Grey Sparrow Journal. My fiction has been nominated three times for a Pushcart and once for a PEN/OHenry prize.

I also serve as fiction editor for Wordrunner e-Chapbook.com

Why do you write?

I like connecting things and exploring why and how people forget.

Any favorite authors? Books?

John Dos Passos USA Trilogy
Marquez One Hundred Years of Solitude
Sherwood Anderson Winesburg, Ohio
Jhumpa Lahiri Interpreter of Maladies

Junior Mints are all she got from Dad. Thanks for giving "One Bag of Popcorn" a read, and for your comments, Marko! Congratulations on completing your story collection.

Marko, thanks for reading and commenting on 'Bukowski'. Gotta believe he'd be bemused at facebook too :) Glad you enjoyed.

Hi marko! You have so much to learn about your neighbours to the north :) thanks for the read!

Barry Friesen – Dec 16, 2010

I appreciate your comment on "Ethical Seduction," Marko. Yes, fun AND painful sometimes when those there to help us let their hair down.

Kathy Fish – Dec 05, 2010

Wonderful comment on "Repair Man" Marko. Thank you so much!

oh well, the New Yorker's fiction is a mixed bag–some good, some...yawn..and..?!! And Lahiri...she's okay but I'd never go running to the bookstore to buy her stuff...so maybe you're in the better boat...!

Kathy Fish – Nov 13, 2010

Thanks, Marco. I appreciate the close read and great comments for "Moro". "Battleship" is an amazing story.
