Spirit Forest
I recently completed the manuscript of my first book. Tentatively entitled Spirit Forest, it is a narrative, non-fiction account of an indigenous man in northeast Cambodia who spent 25 years hiding in the forests of Southeast Asia to escape a war he mistakenly believed was still going on. The book is based on my original reporting from Cambodia in 2004 and 2008. I am currently seeking representation.
