About

I’m a writer. I like stories about people who make mistakes, who fall in love, who wreck things, who ruin everything around them, who ache and suffer and mourn and break my heart. Preferably while on a rocket.

I was raised Evangelical Protestant, but I try not to act like it. Sometimes I try too hard. It’s embarrassing how forced it is.

I say words like “fuck” sometimes. Probably because of that stuff I just said about trying too hard.

I have a wonderful wife who fights millions of battles a day and still has time for my nonsense. Sometimes she writes stuff here.

I have a delightful daughter who draws and writes prolifically and has no qualms about self-publishing. Sometimes she amazes me.

I have a ridiculous dog who has been assigned to me as some sort of karmic rehabilitation program. Sometimes I let slip that I like her a lot.

I have a crinkly-eared cat who has delusions of grandeur. Sometimes she lets me rub her belly.

I also have fish.
