Coming Soon: "The Advisor," in print in Monkeybicycle #6, probably available by the end of the year and featuring a really sweet lineup of great writers.  Also, in June 2009, my first book, now called Holy Hullabaloos: A Road Trip to the Battlegrounds of the Church/State Wars," from Beacon Press, which rules.

I've loaded sound files of me reading some of these stories.  You can hear them by clicking on "Sound File" after the entry.  If you find that one of them doesn't work, would you email me and let me know?  Thank you, nice person.

Sadly, some of these links are dead.  All the more reason, really, why someone should publish my short story collection "Objection!  Stories About Lawyers and Non-lawyers"
