Bio/Mission
I teach freshmen to write. I read and I am working on a novel, while also trying to hammer out a few short stories and essays here and there. In a previous life (last year), I worked in politics and lived in Washington, DC. Now I find myself back in my home state of Texas and feeling all the contradictory feelings associated with returning to the homeland and associated with Texas itself.
Inspirations
I like to write first thing in the morning and drink a lot of black coffee. Food doesn't help the process. I like the books of Jim Thompson, Robert Stone, Mary Gaitskill and many more. The novel I'm working on is set in northern New Mexico--if you know/love this place then drop me a line.
