biography I started writing when I was a teenager by imitating Rush lyrics. I wanted to be a modern day warrior with a mean mean stride, but instead I earned two English degrees, married, reproduced, landed a responsible job, began remodeling houses, raised kids, and took a break from writing because I was tired all the time. In the mid-2000's, I started writing seriously again. I finished a book, Cul De Sac, inappropriate stories about suburban guys, some of which are in the Writings section of this website. Cul De Sac will be published by Sententia Books in Spring of 2012. I have published in Great River Review, Identity Theory, Minnesota Monthly, Night Train, Pindeldyboz (web), The Rake, Sententia, and Word Riot, among other places. I am the winner of a 2006-07 Loft Mentor Series Fiction Award and the 2008 Third Coast Creative Nonfiction Contest. I was nominated for the Best New American Writers of 2009. I have been teaching college English for fourteen years and live in the American suburbs. I do not live in a cul de sac, but I can see one from my house.  |
