This blog is a place to talk about my writing with people interested.

I’ve a novel just out: Milarepa – Threat or Opportunity. It’s partly autobiographical, partly fantastic. It’s all set in San Francisco’s North Beach where I lived and hung out between 1970 and 2005. The fantastic part is the reappearance of the medieval Tibetan Buddhist saint Milarepa in the turmoil following the 9/11 attack on the World Trade Center. It starts a movement in the Great World but also comes down into the bars of North Beach after Milarepa turns my dead sweetheart Toni into a Dakini with a vague mission to save the people of North Beach.

I’ll be talking about my novel, some of my other writing, and other things as they come up. If you have questions or comments, I hope you’ll send them.
