Belmont Books will host my book launch on June 18 at 7pm. Copies of my debut short story collection, The Nansen Factor, Refugee Stories, will be available. Mark your calendars now if you live in the Boston area. Here’s the plan. First, a short slide show about my father whose memoir documents his life as a refugee, then a brief reading, and finally a conversation with Michelle Hoover, co-founder of GrubStreet’s Novel Incubator and host of the 7 a.m. Novelist podcast. Michelle spends part of the year in Cypress, so she has experienced what it feels like to change countries, as have I, now living half the year in Sweden. Do join us!
