The "El Cid" and the "Daily Aztec" Publications

Great news! The San Diego State University news publication, "The Daily Aztec," has asked permission to publish my two most recent short stories: "Canciones por los padres" and "A Shooting or Fallen Star." Though this is not the New York Times, it is a wonderful start to 2011 and a great opportunity for news of my writing to spread. A friend and fellow writer, Matt Doran, is one of the editors and he is doing an admirable job of changing the Aztec from a paper solely focused on campus news to a source of substance and literature. I am hoping that my writing represents his efforts well.

Also, I had completely forgotten that there was an online version of an interview I gave last July, so check it out! It was a "Features" column in the "El Cid," a campus newspaper from Cathedral Catholic High School. The writer, Andrianna Yeatts, is an impressively intellectual young woman and I am indebted to her for the beautiful way that she represented me in this article. Give it a read! http://www.elcidonline.com/features/2010/07/20/uni-alum-completes-fist-novel/

Pleasant reading and Much Peace!
