My debut novel, FIRST, YOU SWALLOW THE MOON, published by radialGRAIN, is available in hardcover March 15, 2016.
I am a devoted writer, husband, father of rescued mammals, and resident troublemaker. I earned a Fiction Fellowship and my MFA from The University of Montana. My short fiction has appeared in a dozen commercial and literary publications. I've taught fiction writing at The University of Montana and The Loft Literary Center in Minneapolis. I live in St. Paul, Minnesota.
Whatever falls from the sky, leaps in front of my car, or unravels at my feet. Every unexpected thing that turns my heart into bowline knots, or kicks me in the pants. Falling stars, bounding foxes, wind bowing trees, and soft, wet kisses.
