Yours is a terrific book as it tells stories that have been buried or misunderstood, and you show how events become cloaked in myths. Ghosts as modern myths is fascinating approach to the supernatural.

And it’s satisfying to read a book about ghosts that examines the patriarchy’s influence.

Man, you are absolutely ruthless. I like that in a person.

Xanax? What’s the world coming to when the kids can’t buy their Xanax uncut?

Hi. Based in Portland, OR, I’ve written plays since 1990. My work’s been primarily done in the U.S. Most of my full-lengths employ magic realism and altered states of consciousness, though I’ve also written a couple of gritty war plays. My work isn’t known well, but colleagues like it. I think.

Red states will receive all the money they need. Blue states will have to grovel and grant Tangerine Caligula concessions to get disaster relief.

There are a number of reasons for this, but it’s largely because our current president is an amoral asshole.
