Video(s)
My one and only video: this is shortened version of “Crickets” which an actress read in Ithaca, NY, May 10, 2025 at the Loft. I had to submit a writing that was no longer than 7 minutes. The musician who played along was selected one minute before the reading started. I won’t put “Crickets” on here just yet.
Books
- The Good Moms, Their Children and Friendship, 2021, on Amazon. The Good Moms is hybrid. (Thanks, Jon.) The first section is the biography of Nasrin, an Iranian immigrant who came to the US shortly after 1979. The second section describes Iran, its political situation and the 1979 Hostage Crisis. The third is a meditation on spiritualism, grief, death and friendship. It’s on E-Bay for $23.03, and on Books-A -Million for $11.5o — which is the price I set. Self-published.

2. 14,000 Reasons to be Happy and Other Short Stories, 2014 . Self-published mostly; some stories published in small (very small, some extinct) literary journals.
