My Writings
My Pet Virus “Book Club” on Facebook
When my humorous memoir about growing up with HIV was published in 2006, I was doing a lot of self-promo for the book on MySpace. I hardly ever log into that account these days, because it's a Spam Hole. Even though Facebook slinks closer and closer to the same fate...

I submitted a story for the Chicken Soup series a while back, detailing my journey with HIV and how I coped and survived pre-meds. Some of it was luck, some of it was an innate idea and the teachings of my parents that being down would only harm my immune system's...

Update on 2nd Book
I sent the file for my 2nd book to my agent today, and couldn't be more relieved to be done. For now. Of course, I've declared victory before. You may remember that back in June I wrote a blog entitled New Book "Finished". Thankfully, I had the intelligence to put the...
