Bio:I'm a radiology technologist and part-time writer. My short fiction has shown up in MOTA 2003: Courage and the online zine Ideomancer. I was a newspaper stringer and writer for a few years as well as providing review columns to zines such as Variants from Variant Press. I graduated from the Clarion Writers Workshop in the year 2000, the same year I got my now useless BA in English degree from Michigan State University.

I had the good luck to marry someone who is much smarter than me and can somehow tolerate living with a sarcastic and cynical nerd with delusions of being a writer someday. Thankfully she will soon have her nursing degree and I will be able to retire early and spend my days in a hammock.

My work appears in:

"Does God Limp?" was featured in the recent book HOUSE UNAUTHORIZED where I share a table of contents with my friend and fellow Clarion Workshop graduate Karen Traviss:
