Former dildo-slinger, former Writer/Director  for the fabulously wacky folks at the Jellyvision Lab in Chicago. Just finished an 8 month round-the-world jaunt… check out my travel photos here!

In 2008 I graduated from Clarion West — an experience I highly recommend and which changed my life in countless ways– and in 2009, I co-founded Brain Harvest: An Almanac of Bad Ass Speculative Fiction (RIP March 2012!).  I have had a handful of short stories published, and I’ve written some travel articles too. My future novels are represented by Cameron McClure of the Donald Maass Literary Agency. Stay tuned for more news on that front.

My non-writing interests include traveling, learning languages I will never use, bicycling, urban foraging, despairing at the dismal state of non-dairy cheese technology, and being surprised. Dislikes include the sound of children whispering. Once, I bicycled from Connecticut from San Francisco. I’ve also had malaria twice.
