  <about><![CDATA[I am the publisher of Future Tense Books in Portland, Oregon. I work at Powell's Books. I write reviews and articles for various papers and mags. I have a few books out. My newest short story collection, Creamy Bullets, came out in 2008 from Chiasmus Press. Portland Noir, a book of crime fiction that I edited for Akashic Books, is now out! My memoir, A Common Pornography (the long version!), is due out from Harper Perennial in early 2010.
