I live in Washington, D.C., but I’m really from the Midwest.
I have published some stuff. I am working on more stuff. Well, duh.
I am the new fiction editor at Emprise Review.
I love books and art and politics and grammar and theater and music and video games and history and technology and all kinds of movies, especially monster movies and noir and spaghetti westerns and the Marx Brothers.
I have a lot of literary heroes. A partial list: Lu Xun, Italo Calvino, Wallace Stevens, Mo Yan, Phillip K. Dick, E. Nesbitt, Beckett, Pinter, Ashbery, Ionesco, Dinesen, Rimbaud, Kafka, Woolf, Hemingway, Hopkins, Valery, Borges. And a million others I’m forgetting.
My political hero is the late Senator Paul Wellstone.
My favorite superhero is Batman.

I’m on Facebook here. (I like to make new friends! But. If you friend me and I don’t know you, please tell me who you are and why you’re friending me. Otherwise, I may ignore you. I don’t like spam friends or people who collect “friends” like chewing gum.)
