about: I pretend to a life of mystery given my two passports and nationalities, but grew up in the desert outside of Tucson, Arizona and spent many years in L.A. I'm more fascinated than afraid of things that bite, sting or have inch long spines, and my dad taught me the latin names for cacti. I have organized tenants, reveled in popular education, and uncovered and helped prosecute the figures behind slum housing empires. I've also picked jojoba beans, filed mining claims, sold bras in Glasgow, and edited some of the best books in the world (all Switchblade of course). Now I like to spend my time writing, preferably in pubs, though this has been much constrained by a debilitating stint in academia and current attempts to get free.
