    The inimitable Brendan O'Meara interviewed my editor, Jonah Ogles, and me about my story, The Voyagers, which sees a Ukrainian father and son escaping the wrath of Joseph Stalin. The Minakovs crossed the Bering Strait in a homemade kayak.

    I have a new story out today--a sad one that appears in Canada's Maclean's magazine. It's about the not-so-promising future of the J-pod, a group of killer whales once reliably resident to the Salish Sea, just west of the U.S.-British Columbia border.

    Here's my story about Rue McKenrick, who walked over 9,000 miles along the perimeter of the United States and got shot at, got stopped by police 20 times, got attacked by biting ants...and all the while endeavored to be his ebullient, idealistic self.
