About
Welcome! I am a writer living in Denver, Colorado, venturing into new territory with a personal Web site. My writing is mostly science and speculative fiction, but as you will see on my blog, I am also an avid reader and consumer of all things current events, pop culture, and history.

Facts about me:
- I grew up in the Middle East, living in Bahrain and Saudi Arabia before returning to the States for college. I am of Palestinian descent on my father's side, Irish-German American on my mother's side. Although it has its complexities, I am grateful to have been raised in two cultures.
- I am highly skilled at jigsaw puzzles. It is the most useless skill to have, but if a meteor ever approaches the Earth and Jeff Goldblum needs someone who can put a 12,000-piece jigsaw puzzle together quickly as part of a plan to save the world, go to my contact page.
- My favorite writers include Octavia Butler, Ursula K. Le Guin, Kate Atkinson, Isaac Asimov and the dead Russians (Dostoevsky, Tolstoy, Bulgakov). TV favorites include Firefly, Orphan Black, Black Mirror and Battlestar Galactica.
