I have been too busy to work on my website in recent months. I hope to get this back online soon.

My time is taken up mostly working as an editor, coaching inexperienced "ESL" reporters at an English-language newspaper in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia. The job also demands copy editing and punching headlines and captions. When there is time I write the occasional news story or OP-ED. Below are some writing samples.
