Bewildering Stories biography
I was raised in Chatham, New York; a small town in the Berkshires that looks like the setting of a Washington Irving tale. I grew up in the deep woods and was infected by a tenacious Romanticism, which no amount of time in urban settings has yet cured. I am now located in Dallas, Texas, where I live with my patient, tremendously supportive wife, our seemingly brainless terrier, and our anarchic and unhinged cat.
I am currently working as a freelance writer. I plan to continue writing fiction. It will likely be of the fantastic sort. My imagination — corrupted in adolescence by Hawthorne, Bierce, Lovecraft, and other purveyors of strangeness — only seems capable of producing weird fiction. I’m quite all right with that.
