Welcome!

I invite you to join my reader email list and receive many of my published writings absolutely free.

I write memoirs — inspiring and entertaining stories and books about politics, work, travel, and personal experiences.

My first book is the award-winning Becoming American. A second book, a collection of inspiring travel tales, will be available in the coming months.

I want to share my writing with you, starting with two unusual travel stories that I’m confident you will find fascinating. One is set on a Caribbean island, the other in the Yucatan jungle.
