Journalism

I started my journalism career as a staff reporter for newspapers in the San Francisco Bay Area, then set off on my own as a freelancer for national magazines. I’ve published in practically every genre from breaking news to essays and features, and in every medium, including video, audio, and photography. In recent years, I’ve taken an increasing interest in science, which is providing fodder for my speculative fiction. Below are a handful of my favorites.
