I am a writer, teacher, and librarian. The nerdy trifecta.

A regular contributor to Medium and Information Today, I have also written for Slate, the Washington Post, Literary Hub, Tor.com, the Missouri Review, the Gettysburg Review, Ploughshares, Creative Nonfiction, and other venues.

In addition, I have spent 20+ years working in government, academic, and private law libraries, as well as teaching academic and creative writing. I have an M.L.I.S. and an M.F.A.

More about me: I collect rare books; love football and basketball; live near Raleigh, NC with my wife, two sons, and a dubious cat; have another son in Iowa; and pretend to eat vegetables but really just move them around on my plate.
