call these 'essays,' but you will find a variety of forms here including presentations, op-ed pieces, personal reflections, and excerpts from my books – fiction and nonfiction, published and unpublished. I will add to them from time to time and mark them as 'new' for a month or so. Feel free to let me know what you think using the 'Contact/Links' button on the sidebar, although given how much mail I receive, I may not be able to respond.
