Hey, you! Yes, you! I love sharing my stories short and long and updates on my Substack.
My stories focus on Americans and American history and culture, but my interests in the Western humanist tradition; classical learning; and science also influence my work: curiosity, creativity, and clarity.
Homo sum; humani nihil a me alienum puto. [I am human; nothing human is alien to me.] —attr. Terence (trans. Maya Angelou)
