Below are links for some of the pieces I’ve written since 2002. I have a tendency to write when I’m angry, so several stories talk about racism and sexism. Some of the stories mention the fact that I was treated for invasive breast cancer in 2008. Nine years later my mammograms are clear, knock on wood. (And knock some more.)
