Publishing - Writer - Other
|
I write short fiction, novels, experimental fiction, autobiographies (well, just one of those, I guess), poetry, reviews, and just about anything that grabs my attention. Hence other.

About me:
This is my myspace page. As you can see, it is very unpretty. Lets call that stripped back.
I am a writer. That's my thing. I've published short stories, poems, a chapbook, and essays. My stuff has been reprinted in various Year's Best volumes. Once, I could run crooked card games, but no more, not since that tragic chainsaw accident. Ask no more. In 2000, I created a zine called the Urban Sprawl Project, but it no longer exists. In 2007, Black Sheep, a dystopian novel, will be published by Prime Books. Last year, an autobiography, Twenty-Six Lies/One Truth was published by Wheatland Press. There was also (and continues to be) short fiction.
I've got a more regular, normal blog here.
Other than that, fuck, what do I care? Come say hi.
