Background
Information
I've been a country grocery store clerk, oil field roustabout, infantry soldier, government paper pusher, out-of-work, and a newspaper columnist. I'm now trying to add published novelist to my resume.
My short fiction has appeared in: ROSE & THORN, DEADMULE, USADS, NEW WORKS REVIEW, CHICK FLICKS, MUSCADINE LINES, and LONG STORY SHORT.
LSS also ran an excerpt of my second novel, WE DANCED TO RAY CHARLES, a coming-of-age love story that was named a Faulkner competition semi-finalist and a finalist by the Santa Fe Writer's Project contest.
