As an academic, reading and writing naturally comprise a large part of my career; but for me, writing is also a pleasurable hobby (a mantra that I find myself repeating whenever I have a deadline to meet). In addition to my academic pieces, I also write short stories and essays. I have long dreamt of becoming a published writer, a dream that came partially true in 2004 when, in conjunction with the Foster City Historical Society, I co-authored the book Images of America: Foster City. Not only did my photographs appear in the book, but I also wrote the preface and the text for many of the chapters. For more information about the book, click here.
In 2009, I began working on my dissertation, an annotated and commented edition of Pierre Loti's 1905 novel La Troisieme Jeunesse de Madame Prune (in English "The Third Youth of Madame Plum.)
