Author bio:
I have eaten snake cooked four ways in China, drank alcohol made from the bile of a python in Vietnam, travelled by car, plane, rickshaw, auto, and caught pneumonia from sitting in the back of a cattle truck from Shigatze, Tibet into Sunauli, Nepal. I love photojournalism, which means I'm not very good at the technical aspects, but enjoy capturing emotion and have an insatiable appetite for traveling, writing, and food. I have taught ESL in China, and have taught English literature, developmental composition, and creative writing at universities and colleges in California, and currently at the School of Visual Arts in Manhattan, NYC and New Jersey City University (I'll let you guess where that is).
I am working on a novel that uses the backdrop of September 11 and 1984 to create characters and situations with real emotional depth, and through a protagonist who happens to be Sikh, that people can connect with its universal themes. I am on page 5. Only 345 pages to go. Easy.
