Learning from the goddess at My Son heritage site, Vietnam
I have been writing narrative nonfiction for more than thirty years, much of it about the colorful history and culture of south Louisiana.

What I Write About
Louisiana subjects include the Mississippi River and the legendary Mississippi River Road, historic bayous, the disappearing Louisiana coast,the late and colorful Alligator Annie, museums, arts, food, natural history, and more. But I also venture afield, writing travel and food articles and personal essays.

My Approach
I try to bring curiosity, insight and humor to every subject under the belief that everything can be made interesting...at least once.
And I'm always open to new experiences and ready for new assignments.
