A Young Transgender Man.

I wrote a story.  It's here.

Scoop 44.

My first longer story is up.  I've been writing blog entries for them for a little while, which can be read here.

Middleness.

Middleness has entered the blogosphere.  It is a place for rants and thoughts by those caught in the stage of life between graduating from college and entering the real world.  My first post went up today, and I relate to almost everything the other writers have to say.  I was really excited when this blog launched because I think many of us 20-somethings are facing similar questions and anxieties.  What better way to share and channel these feelings than through a blog?

Hawaiian Homes.

I wrote a short piece for the most recent issue of Robb Report's Vacation Homes.  The section, dubbed Groundfloor, tends to be about new developments in previously undeveloped areas that provide rich and high profile people with exclusivity, while the developers and customers rationalize their venture with thought that the indigenous peoples now have jobs.  Kealanani, however, seems a bit different.  Firstly, the developers know Hawaii: its history and its current condition.  And secondly, they're going out of their way to provide low income housing on the development.  That last tidbit was not included in the piece for VH, which you can read here.

A Beginning.

The first issue of The Robb Report Collection that I was involved in was just printed and released.  I came in as a full time employee just as we were shipping, so I didn't do much, but I did write a couple things, and since they're my first pieces published in this mag, I thought I'd link to them here and here.
