I was honored to have my short story, “Nojento,” nominated for a Pushcart Prize by Water~Stone Review late last year. Recently, the WSR editors interviewed me about the piece, which you can find here. Sorry to have been a bit quiet on the blog lately. I am gearing up for my graduation from Warren Wilson […]
It’s been a fruitful few months for yours truly, in terms of publications and other stuff, so here’s a li’l update! In the summer, I published my first personal essay, “My Great Hunger,” in the Cincinnati Review. The editors at the CR were wonderful to work with, especially the Nonfiction Editor, Kristen Iversen, who helped […]
I’m not a sports-on-TV person. This fact, I’m sure, pains my father deeply, since he is the type of person who will watch almost any sport on TV, including wrestling and volleyball, as long as his beloved alma mater Penn State is involved. My mom, having been married to my dad for close to 46 […]
Here’s a completely uninteresting fact about me: I love podcasts! I know, unique, right? Look, I realize that everyone and their mom listens to podcasts and you probably have a million and a half of them sitting on your iPhone right this very minute, but I am of the belief that one can never have […]

October is one of my favorite months, and not only because it’s the month of my birth. Actually, I used to think that my birthday subsumed the entire month of October. I have a really specific memory from when I was four or five years old of waking up on October 1, running downstairs, and […]
I’m on vacation with my cousin Amanda and so I won’t be blogging this week. My most abject apologies! In the meantime, please feast your eyes on this Corgi beach party. I repeat: Corgi BEACH PARTY.
I’m sure I’m way late to this party, since I am, as we’ve established on many occasions, old, but I just discovered the iPhone app iMadeFace and it is SO FUN, you guys. It’s an app that lets you make portraits of people, real or imaginary, by choosing from an array of facial features, hair […]
Happy Friday! There’s no time for a real blog post today, I’m afraid! I am running around on this gray, rainy Joburg day to try and get ready for our weekend trip to Swaziland. We’re leaving today at 1 pm and before that I need to go grocery shopping for four people, get to the […]
