I write a lot on the side—fast and furiously.
Long fiction (in progress)
Two novels with a cast of characters who, according to situation and interpersonal relationships, explore the themes of identity, loss, isolation, trauma, meaning, and death.
Do we ever know who we really are? Can we escape the violations committed in the past? Who are we if we are forced to call into question the things we believe and possibly redefine the identities we cling to?
Complex situations tend to involve complex and fallible people who, sometimes, come to learn that making way for the new requires discarding what no longer works. Life is a circus and it is full of surprises. Any meaning we derive is subjective and entirely self-created.

*As of January 2021, I write and publish long and short fiction under an alias that has a growing (solid) track record. If you think you know who they are reach out through the contact page and let me know.
Blogging and social media
In September 2017, I launched a blog to detail my ongoing relationship with yoga, running, boxing and combat sports: Not Made of Glass.
While living in the Middle East I ran a food and travel blog (focused on food allergies + wellness, and art and design) from 2012 to 2015: For the Intolerants.
I hate Twitter, don’t get TikTok, quit Facebook in spring 2020 (Metaverse what??), and am uncertain about my future with Instagram because the platform makes me want to punch something. If anything, I pin inspirational content on Tumblr and use social media to make or maintain virtual/IRL connections.
