About Me

I somehow got a literature PhD from Tufts University in 2002 and then decided I would prefer not to. Since then my work has appeared in Juked, West Wind Review, Mad Hatters’ Review, Sous les Pavés, Harp & Altar, A cappella Zoo, Pear Noir!, Lamination Colony, Prick of the Spindle, DIAGRAM, 3:AM Magazine, SmokeLong Quarterly, Word Riot, Chicago Review and elsewhere. I've been twice nominated for a Pushcart Prize, and my short play, The Liquidation of the Cohn Estate, was produced in the 2009 Boston Theater Marathon. My first published novel, HUMAN WISHES / ENEMY COMBATANT, was published in January 2012 by Say It With Stones: http://sayitwithstones.com/?p=447
